  Description     : A Buddhist text reader using CBETA APIs

CBETA Electronic Buddhist Text Reader 2 app features: search by categories, full text search, bookmarks, share by link, offline browsing, Buddhism dictionary, themes, pagination, adjustable font size, Kai font, vertical text layout, Buddhist text printing, cross platforms, no ad, open source.

CBETA is a rich Electronic Buddhist Text database with 1 GB size approximately. cbetar2 is like an RSS reader: it fetches interest Buddhist texts from the database and stores them to storage on demand for saving storage space and offline use. cbetar2 features many settings as shown above.

cbetar2 has already been packaged and tested for amd64 & arm64 debs / Snap Store, x86_64 & aarch64 rpms / FlatHub / Fedora COPR, x86_64 & aarch64 AppImage, x86_64 & arm64e macOS, x64 & arm64 Windows. All use some degree of CI/CD. I can maintain this package alone. However, I am not a Debian Maintainer, so I need a sponsor.

If I am not mistaken "Electronic" means built on electron here.
This is not to be bundled with the app but to be built separately.
There are many possible packages waiting for it, see blocking bug.
