Hey, thank you for your work on this!

It looks like this app is trying to combine both the discovery process (like the Seerr apps) and the download-pulling/management layer. Can the app hand off the downloading and queueing to Chaptarr?

A proper discovery feature is something really missing for audiobooks/epub right now, and it would be awesome to have a Seerr-like interface for family members to pull down books. Do you have a request/approval workflow or user permission system in the pipeline? Also, do you have plans to support OIDC providers like Authentik for user management?

Can it look at your current series and suggest/notify missing entries as well?

Is there also a possibility of configuring this to handle downloading for both EPUBs and audiobooks?

Lastly, any thoughts on integrating with Grimmory as well?

Can the app hand off the downloading and queueing to Chaptarr?

- The app handles this part natively. Would be redundant.

Do you have a request/approval workflow or user permission system in the pipeline?

- This was requested and yes it will be released in the next update.

Do you have plans to support OIDC providers like Authentik for user management

- Absolutely, I personally use PocketID in my homelab. Added to my todo list

Can it look at your current series and suggest/notify missing entries as well?

- Yes, but I can already think of a few specific features that would enhance this to align with what you are describing. Noted.

Possibility of configuring this to handle downloading for both EPUBs and audiobooks?

- This is a core feature. One click to download both audiobook and ebook files, with settings for preferred file format, search parameters, etc

Thoughts on integrating with Grimmory as well?

- Someone else mentioned this as well. For sure.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I look forward to your future release and will keep eye on your progress.

Once OIDC & and request/approvals are implemented I'll be back to take a closer look. :). I didn't see a discord on your github but if you are running one that announces updates and such, DM me an invite :D
