Indexer and Downloader for Library Genesis (programming.dev)

I wrote an indexer and downloader for libgen that is mostly compatible with readarr via newznab and nzbget apis.

I don’t know much about readarr or the nzbget api but I have a working v1.

Not sure where to take it from here though.

Not sure if it would be better to write a new downloader and get it added to readarr or keep emulating an existing downloader.

I feel like this bridges a gap in content from Usenet with libgen but I’m looking for feedback and to see if anyone knows of a similar project.

Also if there is any interest I will publish a docker container so you can run it next to your arr stack.

Thoughts?

I am very interested, especially if you can tie in Anna's Archive. I've been looking for something like this.

This. Anna’s Archive integration would be of great value.

Would you mind taking a look at ThreeTwo https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo it is a comic book curation/acquisition app and I’m working on Usenet integration, so maybe it’s a fit

I've been using openbooks but I'd love to move to readarr for better management from mobile.

Sounds nice! I am also working on a usenet indexer right now, but I am not ready to make it public. Anyway, if you publish a docker container I would gladly give it a try.
