Open epub URLs directly?

Open SlidingHorn opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I'm not sure if this is something that's beyond the scope of this project, but I figured I'd ask:

Any chance of allowing us to use epy to directly open an epub via a URL? For example:

epy http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works.epub

Edit: I know this is supposed to already be supported (at least according to the --help), but no matter what epub I try to view, I cannot view them.

Seems doable, but currently still working on new UI, we really need to modernize the UI (the UI framework, not the looks), so it may come after a while.

I think this is strongly against “Do one thing and do it well” philosophy. How much it worthy of effort, when the alternative is just

wget http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works.epub && \
    epy peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works.epub

(make yourself an alias for it).
