Still. I like the and want it to succeed, so I'll shift my focus (and money) to 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 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 (on ).

I've had an account on bookrastinating.com for a couple of years, but after signing up and importing my books from it hasn't seen much use.
I intended to give it some love a few months ago, but then and 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?

And here I am, finally deciding to give another try and importing a bunch of books from only to find out that .org is down, so lots of failed imports.
Guess, I'll have to take care of the dishes or something.

If you would like to bid on one of ten hand printed copies of this linocut print, all proceeds are going to the Internet Archive's Open Library.

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.

Captura de pantalla de la aplicación Openreads, para Android. Sobre fondo blanco hay una lista de libros pendientes de leer, cada uno de ellos con su imagen de portada, título, autor y año de publicación. En la parte inferior se pueden ver tres pestañas: en progreso, terminado y para más tarde. En la esquina inferior derecha hay un botón flotante con el signo más, que se utiliza para añadir libros.
