The Lector project aims to enhance your reading and studying potential from an electronic screen. Found out more in Lector's about page on our website.
This README will focus on how to install and play with the software yourself and contribute your ideas to the Fready community.
- Python 3
- Some sort of local server (I recommend checking out Live Server VS extension)
- That's it!
A sample environment-sandbox is already in place. But if you want to customize it here's the recommended procedure.
The way this development environment is setup requires a .frd file reader's output. An frd reader just converts the JSON to HTML.
.frd file example (Just a fancy JSON)
{"page_container":"<html><body><div id=\"page-container\">\n<div class=\"pf w0 h0\" data-page-no=\"1\" id=\"pf1\"><div class=\"pc pc1 w0 h0\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"bi x0 y0 w1 h1\" src=\"data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAATkAAAHCCAIAAAAb1il8AAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAAEeUlEQVR42u3cPU4CQRi.....To this:
<div id="reader">
<style "text="" css"="">
#page-container {top: 0;left: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; width: auto; height: auto; overflow: visible; background-color: transparent } @media print { body { ...... The simplest way to obtain that HTML is to
- headover to Fready
- upload a PDF and go to its reading page
- click
Inspect element - copy the
<div id="reader">including its contents and its closing tag. - paste that in the
view_files/reader.txt $ python3 compile_sandbox.py
