Download and install the library as a real app on an Android phone or tablet.
The Android app is a thin wrapper around this same site. It installs like any other APK, then opens the library full screen with no browser bars — the fastest way to use the shelves on a phone, and it keeps working when the signal drops because the pages you have visited stay cached.
downloads/README.txt: upload the finished
oeac-library.apk into the downloads/ folder and this button
turns itself on.
Because the site is already an installable PWA, the Android package is generated from the live site rather than compiled by hand:
https://library.oeacnetwork.com.com.oeacnetwork.library, app name
OEAC Digital Library, and keep the signing key on “Create new”..apk to oeac-library.apk and
upload it into the downloads/ folder.sha256_cert_fingerprints value from the generated
assetlinks.json into this site's
.well-known/assetlinks.json — a placeholder is waiting there.Keep the keystore file and its passwords safe. Without it you cannot publish an update to the same app identity.
One click in your browser. Nothing to download, nothing to build, no app store.
OEAC Digital Library is a Progressive Web App. That means the site you are reading right now can install itself onto your phone, tablet or computer — the same way a normal app does — directly from the browser.
There is no .exe, no .dmg and no package to unpack, so there is nothing that
can be out of date, blocked by antivirus, or tied to one operating system. When we publish a new
feature or a new batch of books, your installed app gets it the next time it opens.
Tap Install below, or open the ⋮ menu and choose Add to Home screen.
Click Install below, or use the install icon (⊕) at the right of the address bar.
Tap the Share button, scroll down and choose Add to Home Screen.
In Safari use File → Add to Dock. In Chrome use the install icon in the address bar.
Firefox does not install web apps. Bookmark the library instead — everything except offline saving still works.
The app shell and every page you have already visited stay available with no connection. Books you opened are cached too.
Sits on your home screen or desktop next to your other apps, and opens full screen with no browser bars.
New books and new features arrive automatically. Nothing to re-download, no update button.
Installs straight from this site. No Google Play, no App Store, no account with anyone but us.
The electron/ folder in this project contains an Electron wrapper that loads the same
site. Its installers are not built or published — and since the browser install above
already covers Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, there is no need to ship them. If you ever do,
build each platform's installer on that platform (npm run dist inside
electron/), because electron-builder cannot cross-build a Windows installer on macOS or a
macOS DMG on Windows.
