Piggydb V6.9 – Document View for Smart Phones and Tablets

Document View lets you browse your content in a plainer and simpler style, which allows you to concentrate on the content itself when you just want to read it. It is also suitable for printing.

Though it is useful and one of the key features of Piggydb, I’ve left it without updates for a long time.

In this version, I finally made relatively large changes to this feature improving its navigation and adding support for smart phones and tablets.

In the new navigation, you can move to the parents if they exist and directly to the home fragment via the home icon at the top-right corner:

I also added a table of contents to each page, which is useful for grasping the outline when the page is large:

As the most important part of this update, Document View now supports smart phones and tablets:

I think it will be a typical way to use Piggydb that you elaborate your knowledge on your desktop PC, then comfortably browse through it on your smart phone (yes, you need to set up a server to do this from outside your home network. I will take up this topic in detail in a future entry).

        Hi Daisuke, any word on this? I am a non-programmer struggling to deploy the .war file on a tomcat server and must be making some silly mistakes. Having piggydb accessible from any web browser on any device would be amazing! Very happy to purchase supporter edition if it helps 🙂 Thank you for this wonderful tool!
