Hey @YakeDev Can you suggest some more features and we can create more issues to bring more open source contributors.

• Voice assistant compatibility: Integrate voice commands with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or Siri to control LisBook by voice.

• Display time remaining per chapter: Display not only the total time remaining in the book, but also the time remaining in each chapter.

• Smart notifications: Send email notifications reminding users to resume reading, or setting a daily or weekly listening target.

• Multi-user with personalized profiles: Offer the possibility of creating multiple profiles within the application, each with its own library, progress, and reading parameters.

• Collaborative listening: Provide a feature that lets several people listen to an audiobook at the same time, with integrated chat for exchanging comments while reading.

• Sound wave generator: Display a real-time visualization of the audiobook's sound waves during reading, to make the experience more immersive.

• Audiobook transcription: Offer automatic audiobook transcription to enable users to follow both audio and text at the same time.

• Exportable widgets: Enable users to export widgets (e.g., minimized audio players) that they can embed on other sites or blogs.

• Picture-in-Picture mode: Integrate a Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode that allows the user to continue reading an audiobook in a corner of the screen while navigating elsewhere on the site or on other tabs.

Library search and management: Add a library search function with the option of sorting books by author, genre or date added.

@Ctoic

Would it be possible to have a single page as an audiobook reader, where we can dynamically load and read different books?

[YakeDev]

I've done some research and I think it's possible.

[Ctoic]

Yes It is possible @YakeDev

Single Page Audiobook Reader with Dynamic Loading and JSON Storage for Chapters

Description:
Create a single-page audiobook reader where users can dynamically load and read different audiobooks. Each audiobook will consist of multiple audio files organized as chapters, with the metadata stored in a JSON file.

Key Features:

1. Single Page Reader: Implement a single-page interface for audiobook playback, including audio controls (play, pause, stop, volume, etc.).
2. Dynamic Chapter Loading: Enable users to dynamically load different chapters of an audiobook from the JSON file into the reader without reloading the page.
3. JSON Metadata Storage: Use a JSON file to store audiobook metadata, including title, author, duration, cover image, and an array of chapters (each containing the title and path to the audio file).
4. Display Book Information: When a new audiobook is loaded, display relevant metadata such as the title, author, cover image, total duration, and a list of chapters.
5. Progress Tracking (Optional): Implement progress tracking using LocalStorage or IndexedDB to allow users to resume where they left off if they return to the page later.
6. Responsive Design: Ensure the page is fully responsive and works seamlessly across different devices.

Example JSON Structure:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Book Title 1",
    "author": "Author 1",
    "cover": "cover1.jpg",
    "chapters": [
      {
        "chapterTitle": "Chapter 1",
        "audioFile": "audio/book1/chapter1.mp3"
      },
      {
        "chapterTitle": "Chapter 2",
        "audioFile": "audio/book1/chapter2.mp3"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Tasks:

• Create the single-page layout with audiobook player controls.
• Implement functionality to load audiobooks dynamically from a JSON file.
• Fetch and display audiobook metadata and chapters from the JSON file dynamically.
• (Optional) Add progress tracking using LocalStorage or IndexedDB.
• Ensure responsiveness and cross-browser compatibility.

Benefits:
This feature will improve the user experience by providing a seamless, single-page interface for audiobook playback, allowing users to easily navigate through chapters and reducing the need for page reloads or navigation.

[YakeDev]

Hey @Ctoic Assign me this

[basiratech]

Hey, @Ctoic! Me and my team would like to contribute to your repo as part of our university project. Can you create new issues for:

1. User Ratings. Implement a system for users to rate and review audiobooks
2. Search and Filtering. So, filters for genre, author, length, and language,
3. Sleep Timer. Sleep timer that stops playback after a set period, catering to users who listen before sleep.

If possible, answer asap, cause we are choosing the project to work on! Thank you!

[Ctoic]

Sure @basiratech

[Ctoic]
