MonoRead

Project Overview

MonoRead is a modern cross-platform reading engine built with .NET MAUI, dedicated to providing an immersive local and cloud plain text (TXT) reading experience, with Gemini pro's involvement.

Key Features

• Supports local multi-file and WebDAV (e.g., Jianguoyun) multi-threaded batch import, with built-in TXT chapter parsing algorithm
• Morandi color palette and minimalist UI benchmarked against top reading apps, immersive bottom navigation
• Complete WebDAV protocol stack for cross-device book and progress sync
• Native text highlighting and reading notes with unified management and export
• Reading heatmap and reading history statistics
• Uses CommunityToolkit.Mvvm, SQLite offline storage, and Entity Framework Core

Target Audience

• TXT plain text reading users
• Users who need cross-device sync of reading progress and notes
• Users who need WebDAV cloud sync

Quick Start

1. Requirements: Visual Studio 2026 or Rider, .NET 10.0 SDK, MAUI workload
2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/LAnubis/MonoRead.git
3. Compile and run

Core Advantages

• Minimalist immersive UI with Morandi color palette
• Supports local and WebDAV cloud import
• Cross-device sync of books and progress
• Text highlighting, reading notes, and reading statistics

System Requirements

• OS: Android (relatively stable), Windows (usable), iOS / macOS (not debugged)
• Additional dependencies: .NET 10.0 SDK, MAUI workload; WebDAV service required for sync

Notes

• The project has known bugs; the author suggests users sync the code and debug as needed
• Currently only Android is relatively stable, Windows should also be usable, iOS and macOS are not yet debugged
