v1.0.1

Got Mozilla's blessing to selfhost it, because it's too niche for the store. Extension is included here, but will also available through the newly launched website: https://leidenreader.mirai.yt/

v1.0.0

No need to use node on your system anymore you can now download your readers directly from the browser!

Easily download the PDF version of your purchased reader from Leiden Online Reader. I believe we should have access to our readers locally, digitally, but also offline without relying on the paper version.

Why?

The online reader is very restrictive in what you can do:

• Unable to select text
• Page navigation is slow
• Styling on the page is bad to the point that a small window makes the notes bigger than the actual PDF file. (Unusable)
• Cannot use the digital version offline

Is this illegal?

No. You can only download the readers you own with this.

Here is what the code does:

• Detect which reader you're viewing
• When you press the download button, your cookie will be used to authorize (as proof of ownership to the server)
• The extension pulls every page from the reader into memory (fun fact every page is its own PDF file)
• All the PDF files get combined into one big file.
• The resulting PDF file gets saved by your browser.

All of this happens locally on your computer and there is no middle man that comes in between, so it is also safe.
