I used the Kindle ecosystem for a while before souring on Amazon. Now I’m bought into the Kobo ecosystem, which is great in some ways but frustrating in others.
I’m curious if there’s a sort of DIY book cloud platform out there. I’ve come across a few, but they all seem to lack what, to me, is the killer feature of the Kobo/Kindle platforms:
Cross-syncing between mobile (iOS), ereader, and web reader
Most of the ones I’ve found can do this with some of those devices, but not all three.
I ask because I regularly hop between reading on different devices to the point that I avoid reading books that I can’t do this with (e.g. all my DRM free books, physical books, etc.). I’ve even re-bought books I already own in other formats just so I can have them inside the “sync loop” because it’s so much easier for me. I’d rather not have to do that though.
Are there any independent options out there that cover this use case? I primarily want to use it for DRM free books I got from bundles, as well as books that I de-DRMed from my Kindle. I would also happily buy a different ereader device that supports this (currently I use a Kobo Forma).
Meta note: wasn’t sure if this topic was better in ~books or ~tech — feel free to move it if needed!

Hey there, I am asking for a friend who is interested in transitioning from their career of designing print ads (Photoshop and InDesign) to web design.
I would imagine they would need some courses on responsive design and Figma? But I'll let the people with experience talk if they're here.
Free is preferred but willing to pay if needed! And if you have links or specific online courses you really like and helped you, that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tilerinos!
Is there an app that has most or all of the train timetables across Europe? When I was in the UK on my last trip, I found Train Times. It looks like the app was entirely redesigned since I used it, but at first glance it seems similar. I would like a similar app for Europe:
- Simple with no bloat (I don’t need the app to buy tickets, in fact, I would prefer if it couldn’t)
- Be able to look up a station and view all departing and arriving trains, no matter the destination
- Have live updates for delays and cancellations
- Reasonably priced subscription is fine (and expected because of the delay and cancellation info)
- Preferably not associated with any particular train company
- Covers most of Europe (although an app for just France, or specific countries, would also be appreciated)
Anyone here know of an app like that? I know it’s a big ask, but I am hoping some indie developer has made a nice app like this. Thanks!
