Hi All,
I am starting a rather ambitious project to add cloud library support to my Kobo Aura Edition 2. I am a software developer (although very heavily on the Microsoft side of things!).
My local library has dropped overdrive support and I want to emulate that functionality with their new provider - if only to try making something new!
I am still waiting for git to clone the official kobo repository (<1mbps :angry:) and I will start by digging around there and reading on the forums.
All that aside, why do all of the apps people are building (koReader, Kobo-UNCaGED etc.) all require KSM or Komon to be launched? Is it impossible to add our applications directly to the kobo OS? i.e. adding a new config section in settings?
So far I see that the kobo repository offers a blackjack and poker example for building one's own applications - so I am assuming that it is "somewhat" encouraged to build one's own applications and therefore it should be possible to run them "natively"?
I have installed koreader and KSM on my aura but I find the UI clunky and the stock Kobo experience just works for me, so I would like to try stick with that wherever possible.
Otherwise if you have any tips for a budding Kobo developer, or feel that I need to change my mindset - please do feel free to set me straight :D!
Cheers
