My π library app always needs help. It shows the books you have borrowed from public libraries, so the only way to use it is to physically travel to the library. Since I live in Germany, it mostly has German libraries
There are many tasks. For example:
Check that it works with the libraries in your city or add them. I cannot do that, since I cannot travel that far
Check that all the other library urls and parameters are still correct. Since the app syncs itself with the library website, and time the library has a new webpage, the url need to be updated

search the catalog,
order books from the catalog,
do many more things
VideLibri is platform-independent and currently provides binaries for (Desktop) Windows, Linux and Android. So far VideLibri has been tested with 200 libraries successfully, where we have noticed the library using one of the supported library systems, but it can be used with every library using one ofβ¦
