Goodreads Reading List

A simple app that downloads your Goodreads to-read list, cross-references with Kindle and allows you to sort the result to efficiently answer the question - which book should I read next?

Development

This project is a single-page application written in Elm and a node.js API using Express.

You need to start by installing the following base dependencies:

• node
• elm
• docker

Start by creating an .env file:

export API_HOST=<production_api_host> # Only used when deploying to production

export GOODREADS_API_KEY=<your_goodreads_api_key>
export GOODREADS_API_SECRET=<your_goodreads_api_secret_key>

Either ask one of the maintainers to share the Goodreads API key with you or get a new Goodreads API key in the developer portal.

Then install all dependencies:

yarn install
yarn bootstrap

Start development environment

yarn start-dev

You can also just start the client or server individually

yarn start-server-dev
yarn start-client-dev

Deploying to production

yarn deploy
