I tested Grimmory on my server outside Cloudron (just to see if it matches what i need) and I really like it so far. Compared to Calibre-Web, this app lets me add physical books not just ebooks. For me this is very useful, since i want to have a single catalogue of all my books regardless of format.

I hope the staff will include this soon, i want it to be part of my Cloudron.
