john-okeefe e35d394736 docs(readme): update device support matrix to current state
- Supported-devices table: Kobo moves from 'full support' to 'coming
  soon, use KOReader on Kobo today'; mobile apps 'coming later' with no
  speculative date
- Universal-sync pitch now states what actually syncs (position,
  bookmarks, highlights, notes) between KOReader and the web
- Frame KEPUB conversion and collection shelf mappings as groundwork
  for upcoming native Kobo support
- Fix dead links: docs/DEVELOPMENT.md → docs/developer/development.md
  and docs/contributing/DEVELOPMENT.md → actual path

# 📚 Bookhoard
A modern self-hosted media library system built with Go, PostgreSQL, HTMX, and Tailwind CSS featuring **universal cross-device sync**, beautiful dark themes, and comprehensive media management.
## ✨ Why Bookhoard?
**🔄 Universal Sync**: Your reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and notes sync automatically between KOReader and the web - with native Kobo sync and mobile apps coming later.
**📱 Multi-Library**: Organize your ebooks, comics, and manga with per-library folders and smart collections.
**🎨 Beautiful UI**: 11 gorgeous dark themes with responsive design that works on any device.
**🔒 Secure**: JWT authentication, bcrypt password hashing, rate limiting, and no passwords on devices.

## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- **Podman** (recommended) or Docker
- **5 minutes** of your time
### Installation
```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://git.linuxhg.com/Bookhoard/bookhoard.git
cd bookhoard
# 2. Set up environment
cp .env.example .env
# Generate secure passwords (no special characters):
# JWT_SECRET: openssl rand -hex 32
# DBPASS: openssl rand -hex 16
# Edit .env with your generated values
# 3. Pull images and start the server
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
