Single Serving Software (Book Management)

I have acquired over 10,000 books over the years (epubs, pdf, txt, rtf, etc). I didn't have many good options for interacting with my books. Tools like Calibre are great, but aren't quite what I need. They are great for filtering and converting between formats and managing content on devices - but not so good for interacting with and engaging with my library. No natural language search, for example.

But now it's the future. I have specced a book management app powered by a combination of ElasticSearch, Ollama, SQLite with a thin web frontend. I used a coding assistant to build it over a day. Now I can interact with my library much more easily than before. I can ask for book summaries or suggestions. I can ask about characters and settings.

It's Single Serving Software. It works well for me and that's all it needs to do.
