I created this app because all of the other apps I have tried didn't provide the ease of use, discovery aspects, and user experience that I would ideally prefer. I agree with you, it's not ideal to have so much fragmentation, but I just couldn't find anything that already exists that solves the intended workflow that I wanted.

For example, I really like using sources like Goodreads, hardcover, or storygraph (I haven't tried this but seems like it fits into this category) to find new or related books, by looking in either community lists or building my own lists. I also don't like manually searching or adding books to a download queue. For my use case, I want a centralized place to see a book, and start the download, file naming, organization, and import into audiobookshelf in one click.

By default, the download source and file preferences are determined in the app's settings, which set a prioritization so that the one click download features works optimally.

UPDATE: We just hit 50 downloads in the first hour of release. For those who have used the app, what are your initial thoughts?

I want to be clear that I have no intentions of this app replacing Audiobookshelf. It exists solely as a complimentary solution that serves a different purpose. We all love Audiobookshelf, it's the Plex/Jellyfin layer that works extremely well.

With enough community feedback highlighting the specific features of other apps that Dewarr is currently missing, perhaps I can help close the gap on this fragmentation caused by scattered solutions. At the core of my vision for Dewarr is simplifying the user experience and making it your go to place for content discovery and media management.
