@lain it was also boldifying title, meta, link and style tags, thats fixed now

it's kinda ready, idk where to put it...imo the patent thing is rediculous, it's just making words bold

i'll put it on gh for nowhttps://github.com/DRKSLV/calibreBionicReading/releases/tag/1.0.0

@lain cringe, lxml doesn't have text nodes, only "text" and "tail" properties

i did it though, i just need to change the manifest thing, cus i used the example from the documentation as a jumping- off point

it right now just boldens a set portion of the text, that you can set in a dialog(so according to the original spec)

you click "Edit Book" then Plug-ins>Bionic-Reading, and it boldenes everything

this particular book has awful css though

--ah also idk how to take payments in bitcoin - even if this is sufficient lmao

so hell, maybe i just had fun speedrunning learning a language, an xml library and calibres plugin api in ~2 1/2 hours?? :welp:

@lain i hope it's helpful, also if you wanna give me 200€ i'm certainly open to the idea lmao

but idk i've never worked on anything for anyone before so...

@lain like this? (it's bitcoin) bc1qhwmmyqca60mhnhfuv27lf2a3e6kwezlmmqczup

(i dunno much about crypto so i just went with the most popular coin)

@lain i found that the boldness didn't really get it all the way there in terms of experience, and you can't easily define styles the way i wanted

so the plugin now asks for opacity, if its smaller than one, all non bold text will be wrapped in <span style="opacity: x">

https://github.com/DRKSLV/calibreBionicReading/releases/tag/1.1.0--i will nuke the repo and the thread in 24-48 hours, to avoid getting harrassed by the patenters, so make sure to save everything

the plugin *might* be reuploaded by a third party (not me) via tor on the calibre forums, later on

@lain Yk i'm totally with you it's very annoying to not be able to pay with thin air, but card readers actually impose draconic fees that not every buisness can afford or is willing to put up with soo...

@lain Based untracable transaction Losses during covid? Try tax evasion by forcing everyone to pay in cash!

@lain exactly, thats the dynamic

@lain that's actually exactly the opposite action i would have wanted them to take lmao

cus this way vendors are kinda bullied into taking really bad deals which centralizes power in giant chains

@lain EU has too moods:Make a progrssive amazing package of laws that loosens the power large corperations have on our daily lives, outlaw selling garbage toxic food etc

in the other mood, they write the worst most malicious laws a human could imagine, lie about what the intention behind it is, and relentlessly try to push it past the parliament as quickly as possible
