Ah thanks for your reply, this is my first tool and post: highly appreciated.
When you go to the book's dedicated webpage, you can see the corresponding genres. I'm using a web scraper to get this information, which enriches the existing book data.
Yeah, now uploading your CSV is a bit cumbersome, using their API would have been much nicer. Do you have any suggestions for using the website more often?
I looked at your shepherd tool. Nice website, seems nice. For me personally, I don't need any more recommendations as I already have a too-long TBR.
Cool. I'm curious about your plans. I have a long TBR list (800 books), so that is why I started with NextRead.
The CSV part was smooth and quick, so there were no problems there.

For users, I think the ability to come back and not have to re-upload. Once I came back, I couldn't really access my previous data without it (but guessing you know this). I wasn't sure if I missed it, but being able only to upload one shelf might help readers who use Goodreads to dump their TBR pile into.

Right now, I am trying to get some stuff in place for this feature, such as building a database of all books (so that we can easily add them to their list) and fixing our genre/topic system to improve accuracy using AI. I am also working to add some of the Book DNA elements I collect from readers to the system (mood, tropes, themes, etc.).
Once those are in place, I will launch the TBR feature. I want to make it easier to sort through your list based on those Book DNA elements to figure out what you want to read next and get suggestions for books you will love based on other readers who share your Book DNA. I also loving knowing how I met a book and I want to add that to the mix.
So a bit of a really powerful sorting tool with elements to help you see what similar readers loved. And with some of the Book DNA review data, things like "show me science fiction books on my TBR list that people loved for characters."
I'd also love to build a Chrome extension so that readers can easily add books to their TBR pile from any website, but I am not sure if we have time or resources this year.
Yeah, so adding a local storage would be a step 1? Or would you prefer to use the standard google/facebook/etc instead?
Sounds cool! I like those ideas. I hope it works for people. As explained to me the TBR feature would be the best, so I will definitely try to use it :)
