Feature Request: Import from Goodreads #51

Closed DonniYH closed 3 years ago

Would be amazing if we could import our existing library straight from Goodreads and over to ReadingList.

I’m aware of the CSV import but this would make it so seamless.

Whoops, didn’t see the latest update.

Let me know how you find it! It's slightly annoying that I can't lookup the book cover images during the import - to get the cover images I think I'd have to connect to the Goodreads API and bring the data over that way instead, which would probably be a fair bit of work.

Yeah its not so ideal.

I know of another developer who also developed a similar app to Reading list.

Alex Gerrese is the dev of Summarize which has a Goodreads import via logging in.

Maybe you could in contact with him and see how he pulled it off.

Good luck!
