Purpose

This app main purpose is to track what you have read, what you are reading and what you want to read.

It acts as a self hosted "personal Goodreads" because I became tired of switching providers every time an online service was shut.

I also became tired of having to export and reimport my data each time with data loss in the process.

You have control on your data since Jelu offers an API you can script or integrate with any third party tool or service (which you cannot do with the vast majority of other online services).

All your data is now located into a single-file database which can be saved anywhere.

Features

• track read books so you don't have to remember everything, and view your history (by year and month)
• manage to-read list
• Import history (from goodreads via csv export or a file with a list of ISBNs, one by line)
• Export your data in a csv file
• Import single books manually or automatically via online search (through title, authors or isbn)
• Mark books as currently reading, finished or dropped
• Books can be tagged and a tag page can display all books with that tag
• You can use tags to create custom shelves
• Links to third party providers are fetched online (google books, amazon, goodreads, librarythings) or computed from those providers id you could enter manually.
• Author page with author detail and books from this author
• Auto import author details from wikipedia
• Auto merge authors (to fix duplicates resulting from automatic imports for example)
• Provide embed code snippets so that books can be tracked in other sites, blogs or even markdown notes/journal
