Tracking of book reading #382

Open n00b12345 opened 4 months ago

Book tracking, i.e. tracking progress of books/read/unread books etc. would be really nice to have. Would you consider adding book reading/tracking as a feature?

Watcharr tracks everything else, books are the only thing missing :)

Hah you are right, I hadn't thought of books. I'm definitely open to adding support.

Just need to find a database with a free api we can use and It should hopefully be straightforward enough to integrate it in alongside everything else.

Hope to get to this soon for you.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

"Competing" projects like Media Tracker or Jelu use Open Library (free API is available) to fetch metadata related to books. This includes things like title, author, covers, description etc. Although not directly related, Calibre and Calibre-web also use Open Library to fetch all kinds of metadata related to books.

I hope this helps a little :)
