🏠 Dashboard
The Dashboard is the first page you see after logging in. It shows a personalized overview of your library through scrollable rows of book covers, each row driven by a different data source. Pick up where you left off, see what just arrived, or let BookLore surface something unexpected.
📖 Overview
The dashboard is made up of scrollers, horizontal rows of book cards. Each scroller pulls books from a different source and displays up to 20 covers. Click any cover to open the book, or hover to see the title.
By default, four scrollers are shown:
| Scroller | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Continue Listening | Audiobooks you've started but haven't finished, ordered by last listened |
| Continue Reading | Ebooks and PDFs you've started but haven't finished, ordered by last read |
| Recently Added | The newest books added to your libraries |
| Discover Something New | A random selection of books from your collection |
Each scroller only appears if it has books to show. If you haven't started any audiobooks, for example, the Continue Listening row is hidden automatically.
⚙️ Dashboard Configuration
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard to open the configuration dialog.
🔧 Scroller Settings
Each scroller row has the following options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Checkbox | Enable or disable the scroller without deleting it |
| Type | The data source (see available types below) |
| Max Items | Number of books to display (10 to 20) |
| Reorder arrows | Move the scroller up or down to change its position |
| Delete | Remove the scroller entirely |
📋 Available Scroller Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Continue Reading | Books with active reading progress (ebooks, PDFs, comics) |
| Continue Listening | Audiobooks with active listening progress |
| Recently Added | Books sorted by date added to the library |
| Discover Something New | A random selection refreshed each time you visit |
| Magic Shelf | Books from any Magic Shelf you've created |
When you select Magic Shelf as the type, a second dropdown appears to pick which Magic Shelf to use. The scroller title automatically matches the shelf name.
