$100 to upgrade Fresh IDE for ePub TUI reading
A user is offering a $100 incentive to add ePub reader capabilities to the Fresh IDE TUI. The goal is to allow users to view ePub content directly within the IDE without needing external applications. The implementation should utilize Rust and avoid JavaScript or TypeScript due to compliance issues.
- ▪The user is a supporter of open source and enjoys using Fresh IDE for teaching.
- ▪They are seeking to enhance Fresh IDE by integrating ePub reading functionality.
- ▪The suggested Rust crates for implementation are 'epub' and 'bookokrat'.
- ▪The implementation aims to display ePub content as human-readable text in the IDE.
