    thoughts on as a current user of :

    📚 LT has more stats, edition control, multiple shelves, coherent database, common knowledge & more book info, public tags, recs, etc.
    📚 SG has a progress tracker, challenges, cooler review structure, etc.

    if i use both:
    acquire book ➡️ add to LT ➡️ add to SG
    ➡️ start reading ➡️ track progress on SG
    ➡️ finish ➡️ mark finished on SG
    📚 LT would be used as a library catalog
    📚 SG would be the reading tracker

  13. current books flow:
    book ➡️ track on #LibraryThing

    future maybe:
    book ➡️ update data on #OpenLibrary ➡️ import book OL data into #BookWyrm ➡️ track on BookWyrm

    why:
    - simpler tracking site with less features seems less stressful. read more, online less (BW)
    - supports open source projects (BW, OL)
    - public data helps everyone (OL)

    why I haven't switched yet:
    - love LibraryThing's features: full edition control, stats, recs, data, etc.

    plan: try the new flow for a while, then decide... :bunthink:

  18. Je découvre que #LibraryThing dispose d'une section consacrée aux bibliothèques patrimoniales de diverses célébrités et/ou lieux importants. Par exemple, 55 ouvrages pour une dame des temps jadis, 226 livres pour Amy Winehouse...

    Y a-t-il ici des gens qui utilisent ces partages de connaissances, qui en ont testé la fiabilité?

  23. Oh, right... For those who don't know, #LibraryThing is a "catalog and review all your books" site, similar to #Goodreads, but without all the apparatus that steers people toward #Amazon, Amazon-Amazon & Amazonian Amazon subsidiaries.

  25. Today your friendly neighborhood rodent imported all of the #SROP books into #LibraryThing, just for fun. It worked. The part that didn't work was covers. Oh, well, nobody judges a book by its lurid cover, right?

  30. After much lollygagging, foot-dragging, some dawdling, a touch of dillydallying, and a bit of shilly-shallying, I've migrated my reading library & tracking over to #LibraryThing. So far, so good.
    New Year's resolution acheived. 🎉

    Goodbye & good riddance #GoodReads!

    Just in time for a little nostalgic binge of Niven's Ringworld books as a respite from the world. I haven't done much, if any, review writing. Maybe that will change after escaping that horrendous UI.

  35. Today I scanned about 100 books into my #librarything library.

    This app and website kinda suck, and I'm told it's the best option out there for tracking a physical library? Really??

  40. Really surprised that #LibraryThing isn’t on the Fediverse (they’re on Bluesky but the account isn’t bridged), given things like the #bookstodon tag. 📚🤔
