Identity

Nome oficial: Araru
Português: Servidor open source e self-hosted para seu acervo digital.
English: Open-source, self-hosted digital library server.

Araru helps people catalog, search, preserve, and consume their own books, ebooks, comics, manga, magazines, and documents. The server manages the library/data; Web is the current client, while Desktop/Mobile are future directions.

Clear, welcoming, Brazilian, trustworthy, and technically capable. It may be playful in onboarding/community contexts, but remains sober in reading, critical errors, and security.

The name evokes the macaw and Brazilian biodiversity/Cerrado. The reference is inspiration, not a mandatory theme. Do not use feathers, birds, or multiple colors in every UI element.

A store, marketplace, distributor, piracy service, public-sharing service, or visual copy of Kindle/Jellyfin/Plex. The user controls the content made available.
