- Epub file size changes after having read with Calibre viewer
-
Description field in Compile Meta-Data area - is this required?
As for editing your ePub file after compile, I definitely recommend either Calibre or Sigil. Either of these will be integral to a publication workflow, even if you get most of the job done with Scrivener. There is no better way to figure out what goes where or what an error message means if your book doesn't pass validation (and will help with validation itself so you don't run into that situation in the first place).

Manuscript editor that can compile to epub and pdf?

Page Break After Chapter Title
I recommend using Sigil for this kind of work, as you can see the changes you make to CSS in real time, and more easily find the exact element class names you'll need to work with.

Manga in Epub format
If it reads like gibberish to you though, try using Sigil or this thing if it even works.

Today I learned ePub is just HTML/CSS

Looking for help with, or alternatives to, Kindle Create
Download Calibre. Format your manuscript in Word how you want it to look and import it into Calibre to create an ePub file. Calibre does a very good job of translating your Word formatting into the HTML required for the ePUB file. If you want to do some tidying up to the ePUB file, download and use Sigil, which is a very good tool for editing ePub files. Both software tools are free.

Majority of web apps could just run on a single server
Sure, at some point you're going to be relying on some 3rd party somewhere. We use a VPS and not a bare-metal hand-installed rack, and we rely on an electrical company and not a hand-turned crank to power our servers. As far as email goes, It's simply not possible to self-host transactional email in 2024 if you want it to arrive in an inbox and not a permanent spam blackhole; likewise it's not possible to accept money without involving a 3rd party service like Fractured Atlas or Stripe or PayPal. (Moving away from GitHub towards a self-hosted Git solution is actually on our long-term todo list[1]).
All those things doesn't mean you can't run your web app on a single tiny server, and that outsourcing the basic underpinnings of your web app, like the OS, runtime, and database to some cloud service, or that resorting to flavor-of-the-month frameworks or containers, will result in complexity and bloat.

Show HN: Glossarie – a new, immersive way to learn a language
Hey a little later to the party here but I'm really enjoying this. I started reading a book with it and while I agree with others it's not great for grammar it certainly shows me many new words without requiring me to read at a glacial pace.
PS: You should def try to include some books from https://standardebooks.org/ which are much nicer formatted than the ones you're using from Project Gutenberg.
Good luck and I hope you can keep building this out. Already the update to tap anywhere to close the word definition is a nice improvement :)

Librum: Open-Source e-book platform
A number of e-book platforms are discussed on my blog, which dives deeply into the technical nuances of typesetting a few[1]. Ultimately, I typeset a classic from Standard EBooks[2], Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde[3].

It is important that ebooks be sold without DRM
> https://standardebooks.org/
Standard Ebooks is seriously impressive. One of my favorite sources of books in the public domain.
I’d also add in addition to this excellent list of DRM-free ebooks, it’s always worth looking into borrowing a book from the library via Libby/Overdrive.
