17·
1 year agoAmazon bought goodreads a while back, and it’s basically stagnated ever since then. They only notable change they made was to shutdown the API.
I really like the idea, I’m going to have to try it again sometime soon.
The last time I tried, their database was missing a lot of books. When I imported my goodreads history, some books got dropped. But, worse, some of the books they didn’t know about were incorrectly matched to completely different books in their database. So my my reading history on bookwyrm.social is currently kind of a mess. I messaged someone on mastodon, who directed me to file an issue on github. I did, but no one ever responded to it.
