Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Came across this repo a few days back. I haven't installed it or used it because I don't know if it can work with Audiobookshelf. It's a project that I will do over some weekend, but as of now, it's a blind suggestion.

The app, if I understand it correctly, syncs and progresses the ebook as per what's going on in the audiobook. Like read along with the audiobook request that was made a few years ago (by me and by some others).

I will leave it to you - the dev team, to decide if it is good, doable, etc., but felt the need to suggest.

Why would this be helpful?

Read along would be a great feature. Sometimes, the audiobook continues playing (or am playing it in the car) and when I pick up the ebook to read along, I spend a few minutes trying to figure out exactly where to pick off or start. If the internal ebook reader has a feature like this, users can directly start reading the ebook instead of searching for where to start.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
