The Take

Sends cleaned EPUBs straight to an Xteink over its Wi‑Fi hotspot using on‑device parsing, a Safari share extension, and automatic mDNS detection for stock and CrossPoint firmware. Nice local-first stance — no cloud or accounts — and it even bundles a file manager and activity history. Parsing images and batch conversion are called out as next steps; those would make this useful beyond its already-specific audience.

Target Audience

Xteink e-reader owners and iOS/macOS users who want to send web articles and X threads to an e-reader without cloud services or accounts

Post Description

Native iOS/iPadOS/macOS app: paste URL (or Safari share sheet), convert webpage or X thread (via fxtwitter) to clean EPUB 2.0, push directly to Xteink X4 over WiFi hotspot. No cloud, no accounts. Supports stock firmware (192.168.3.3) + CrossPoint custom (crosspoint.local / 192.168.4.1) with auto/mDNS detect.

Early/WIP but daily-driver usable for me. Feedback welcome on parsing quality, connections, or next steps (images in EPUB, batch, etc.).
