@bookhive.buzzThanks for the write up @danny.is
Will try to address better book matching on my side and things should not always be marked as owned
@bookhive.buzzThis is a fantastic example of why open data is so important!
@danny.isReposted by @bookhive.buzzI just moved my books collection from Goodreads to @bookhive.buzz and wrote a bit about how I cleaned up the data from Goodreads and pulled in some Audible stuff too.
@bookhive.buzzUnfortunately probably not for a while. I’m still needing to gather more books before the search ranking would be of any use. The more people use it the better it should get though!
@bookhive.buzzWe are legit, in the best place possible!
@michael.bsky.teamReposted by @bookhive.buzzI just learned Goodreads is owned by Amazon. Womp.
All the more reason to use @bookhive.buzz or @popfeed.social
@bookhive.buzzI’m confused binary based matching is for KOSync, which is for syncing across devices not OPDS (which is for downloading books). What issues are you seeing specifically? Sending file metadata (an option in KOReader) should be turned on to better match to a book in BookHive but it’s not guaranteed
@bookhive.buzzThere are things like Open Library but there dataset is incomplete for some common books
@bookhive.buzzAlso, I’ve been using Readest, it’s really well done and very actively made by the former KOReader maintainer. Can highly recommend it!
@bookhive.buzzI’ve not seen this before. I’m unsure what it could be. I wrote the server against the spec so it should work 🤷♂️ If you could get a more specific error message that would be helpful.
@bookhive.buzzSourced from Goodreads. I don’t want to take on the moderation of adding new books. I’m working on a new community book lexicon that should help: nick-the-sick.pckt.blog/road-to-a-bo...
@nickthesick.comReposted by @bookhive.buzzDon't worry guys, Part 2 is here: Houston, we've got a book & review lexicon! I don't think it is in it's final shape just yet, but I believe it to be a strong proposal, and well justified if I may say so, myself 😌
@bookhive.buzzAppreciate it, no worries, I’m clearly not attached to the code. This project is more of a statement and idea than anything.
@bookhive.buzzSorry about your experience with my code. I'll do better. It's not to my standards either, but its hard justifying the amount of time that I spend on this as is. But that's just an excuse. Thanks for contributing!
@bookhive.buzzThanks to @noahbogart.com, we now have importing from @hardcover.app into @bookhive.buzz
@mariuskimmina.comReposted by @bookhive.buzzGave my website a neat sunday afternoon makeover and added a /books section powered by my @bookhive.buzz records - interop ftw
@bookhive.buzzVery nice!
@bookhive.buzzIn the KOReader settings in Readest, you'll need to check "Send document metadata" for it to send the title and author of the book. This is for privacy reasons since the default KOSync server is public with open registration

@bookhive.buzzBookHive now syncs with your e-reader. Upload your ebooks, browse them from KOReader, Crosspoint, or Readest, via OPDS, and your reading progress syncs back into BookHive.
