It's great to be able to download stories from forums like Spacebattles using FanFicFare, but I do most of my browsing on my phone, and it's annoying to have to wake up my computer in order to use Calibre or a command prompt, download the story, and then transfer it back to my phone to read or listen to with TTS. Especially if I'm away from home when I find a story. Is there any mobile equivalent?

There once was a web interface for FFF, but I had to shut it down last
fall due to Google App service changes.

The closest I'm currently aware of, S10MC2015 suggested on GitHub that
FFF can be run in colab.research.google.com:

https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/issues/522

I was able to make it work, but not download on ipados.

I'm not interested in *supporting* this use-case (neither of us know if
the colab terms technically allow it), but you could try it.

I use FFF mostly on my android phone. All you need is a terminal app that has all the needed packages. I use Termux, it's available on the playstore as well as on fdroid.

Once installed you will need to do the storage setup (check their wiki) so that Termux will have a link to the internal storage, that way you can configure the output of FFF directly to your downloads folder, without having to manually move epub files through the command line to open them.

I wrote https://github.com/Octav14n/BoFiLo for my self to use FanFicFare on Android. Before that I used Termux which works fine too.

2 questions and you probably will not have answer to the second one. Is there a way to download them on windows and is it accessible?

Yes, you can download them on Windows, using the command line version of Fanficfare. Because its command line, your screen reader should be able to handle it so yes it's accessible.
