Problem Statement

While KOShelf includes excellent Syncthing integration with sophisticated dual-detection systems, the current documentation leaves several gaps that make initial setup challenging for new users. The README covers the basics but lacks the detailed step-by-step guidance needed for a smooth first-time experience.

Current Documentation Gaps

  1. Missing Step-by-Step Setup Guide

• No clear progression from "install Syncthing" to "working sync"
• Device pairing process not documented
• Folder configuration lacks specific screenshots/examples

  1. KOReader Plugin Setup Unclear

• Plugin installation instructions are minimal
• No troubleshooting for plugin issues
• Configuration within KOReader not covered

  1. Network Configuration Missing

• Local network discovery requirements not explained
• Firewall/router settings not mentioned
• Device IP configuration guidance absent

  1. Troubleshooting Section Incomplete

• No sync conflict resolution guidance
• Connection failure debugging missing
• Platform-specific issues (macOS, Linux) not addressed
