BTW I was able to consistently repro that link not loading. I made a couple changes and it seems to be loading now. Want to try again? Lmk if it still fails for you

thank you! I'm not planning on making the code available rn, but I definitely want to make it easier for people who don't use Goodreads to use Project TBR. Thanks for letting me know about bookrastinating, I will look into it

Ok, thanks for the reply!

if you have an Android, then you'll need to go to Goodreads on your browser, bc the Goodreads Android app doesn't have a way to get a link to your profile as far as I could tell.

If you have an iPhone there's a little snippet of instructions on the home page of projecttbr.com (it's not visible when you look at the example I linked to)

oh yeah I think it's the same for the other person too -- theirs is set to only be visible to Goodreads users

that was it! i had to make my profile public (not my shelf)

thank you!!

thanks so much!!

thank you!! So glad to hear that. I hadn't thought of doing that, but will definitely consider it!

Thank you both for the links!! I’ll look into this

Hope it helps! A cool feature might be to be able to select which shelf to check as well, for giving recommendations to friends from my "Read" shelf, etc. :)

Btw, I was curious to see how it looked when it works. I hope you're not planning to borrow "The Great Believers", "Watchmen", "The Paper Palace" or "Harlem Shuffle" from the New York Public Library[0]. It currently has a listed wait time of 9007199254740991 days, or ~652,615.4 cosmic ages.

yeah I definitely want this to work for other "lists" of books and other goodreads shelves is a good idea!

And oooops fixed that bug :) thanks for letting me know

Thank you! Agreed, it’s awesome!

I also often buy books! Especially if I really like the book or the author. I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion.

I don’t think that borrowing from the library supports the author in some way you don’t know about — it shows interest in the book and leads to copies being purchased but buying the book directly definitely seems like it would have a bigger impact. But borrowing from the library does support the library! And libraries can be really great for their communities :)
