Open Library volunteers like Nazar Kotsur 👨💻 work behind the scenes every day.
From tracking Ukrainian books that aren’t yet online to improving access via Wikisource, his work keeps culture from disappearing.

Still. I like the #Fediverse and want it to succeed, so I'll shift my focus (and money) to #Bookwyrm and try to use that as my main app for keeping track of my reading. This probably means I'll have to get an account on #OpenLibrary too.
I have books in Swedish for example that I think Bookwyrm won't recognize.
I don't have loads of money to spend, I don't have many useful skills, but I can help a little with adding books at least.

TIL that there is an android app for #Bookwyrm (on #Fdroid).
I've had an account on bookrastinating.com for a couple of years, but after signing up and importing my books from #TheStoryGraph it hasn't seen much use.
I intended to give it some love a few months ago, but then #InternetArchive and #OpenLibrary got hit with that attack.
But I think that's been resolved now, and the android app will make things a little easier too, so I don't really have any excuses anymore do I?

It looks like you can add new books to #OpenLibrary again!
And thus subsequently import them to #BookWyrm ...
And here I am, finally deciding to give #Bookwyrm another try and importing a bunch of books from #TheStoryGraph only to find out that #OpenLibrary.org is down, so lots of failed imports.
Guess, I'll have to take care of the dishes or something.

Por si os interesa, he encontrado esta aplicación para organizar las lecturas. Se llama Openreads, está en F-Droid y es de código abierto. Permite añadir libros de tres maneras: desde la base de datos de Open Library, escaneando un código de barras o, si no hay otra opción, añadiéndolo de forma manual.
Tiene una interfaz muy limpia y sencilla, y permite hacer copias de seguridad para llevarnos las listas de libros a otro dispositivo.
Os dejo un pantallazo para que os hagáis una idea de cómo se ve.
Edito: también está en Play Store. Os dejo el enlace de las dos tiendas.
