This has been a long time coming (5 months!). It's been a while since I've posted on r/selfhosted about Storyteller, and it's improved a lot since then!
As always, happy to answer questions and chat.
Storyteller is a self-hosted ebook and audiobook platform, with built-in support for automatically generating WhisperSync-style "readaloud" books. You provide it with an EPUB file and your audiobook, and it will automatically align the text with the audio, providing you with a new EPUB file that has the audio baked in via Media Overlays.
You can then use the Storyteller mobile apps, or other reader apps such as BookFusion and Kobo (the app, not the devices, unfortunately), to read and/or listen to your books.
With v2, Storyteller is now gunning to be your fully featured ebook, audiobook, and readaloud book library management system. It supports standalone ebooks and audiobooks (with mobile app and web reader/listener support coming soon!), advanced search and sort functions, and a wide array of features for managing your library’s metadata and organizing your collections. And you can now point Storyteller at your existing "books" folder and have it automatically import books as they're added to your filesystem.
Oh, and we support OAuth and OIDC, now!

... Dangit. Could someone ( @mycketforvirrad ?) fix my title for me? Sorry about that, clunky phone typing. "os" -> "is"
Don't feel too bad.
Me on the front page: "What? Another Android fork? Guess I'll give it a look - hey this is pretty interesting..."
Hahahahaha well, sorry for the accidental clickbait, but I'm glad you think it's interesting!
Fixed!
Thank you!! ♥
