Library
Notes on an experimental local digital library. The library in discussion here is a selected archive of open access texts.
The 'bruise' library has existed in a few iterations now across different devices and spaces. Right now I'm interested in implementations that are likely to work through a wide range of devices and with few points of technical friction.
Bruise Local
This version utilises Calibre's content server feature combined with a Wemos D1 Mini running as in access point mode.
This allows us to create a small local wifi network. The library host and users connect to this network.
The host starts the server within Calibre.
This can then be visited within a web browser from any other device connected to the network at a given URL.
As with other experiments I've made using the Wemos D1 Mini, I value the need for proximity and non-digital communication here (in the sharing of the password and url to visit). It also requires (in most cases) a disconnection from other networks. It is much less featured than what can be achieved through Calibre Web or Bibliotecha (see Roel Roscam Abbing)- but perhaps does effectively construct a temporary library. The difference here is mainly in the routing of the network through the Wemos D1 Mini. This could also be achieved with a conventional router.
