I’ve checked all over for a fix to the next chapter problem with opds libraries. If I am reading chapter 10 within an opds server on Panels. To move on to chapter 11, I need to back out, make sure I remember which chapter I just read, back out of that and scroll down to chapter 11, click that, then click that actual chapter to start reading again.
My proposed solution would be to make a navigation side bar or top bar that opens up the current chapter and the chapters around it like(ch10 CH11 ch12). The swipe gesture to the left goes back, the swipe to right gesture is unused. Theres already a chapter icon that is visible after pressing near the top of the screen. This wouldnt be syncing read history or even progress between Panels and the OPds server. It would just be showing what is already there. It would be even better if instead of folder icons, you could add an option for panels to auto open the chapter inside. Again this wouldnt be panels trying to change how the opds server organizes file or even how its able to interprete that organization. It just gives the option to forgo extra steps.
