Love this. +1 for the Goodreads import! I think it will make it easier for people to try!
Adding a link to buy the books on bookshop in addition to Amazon could be a nice touch too to support local bookstores

#12Wow, the shelf UI is a real throwback to the old iBooks shelf design! Looks great. +1 on the bounding box issue, it takes me out of the flow when accidentally triggering a book below the current shelf.
Thank you! Amazing feedback, will fix the bounding box issue :)

#13I just tried a few books that were not found or could not get the cover, even though they are both well known (over 50k reviews each on Goodreads). The Physician https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4692.The_Physician Soumission https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23929479-soumission Is there something that might cause some popular books to not show?
Good call out, will definitely address this!

#14Is it possible to import Goodreads history?
Unfortunately, Goodreads disabled their API. However, Shelby can natively import a Gooreads CSV export! Hope you can give it a try.

#15Very nice! Care to share more technical details? Like others, I'd be curious to know how you're fetching the book covers.
Personally, I dislike skeuomorphic design in digital interfaces. But still... very cool!

#16Looks nice, imported goodreads no problem. Ai recommendation fails with unauthorized :(

#17Looks fun! Just signed up.
Can you add date read or like a date range you read it, or even just completed date?
And are comments like notes for the person adding them or are they social, visible to others?

#18I miss Delicious Monster's Library app
Why? It still works for me.

#19Do you offer it as a GitHub project, for people who would rather self-host it?
