See library availabilities for your Goodreads want-to-read list

This is a Goodreads + Libby app integration which shows you the library availability for each of the books on your Goodreads want to read list. Basically, I got sick of manually looking up each book on my Want to Read list on the Libby app to see if it was available or how long the wait was. So I made this site which easily gathers all that info for me. At this point, I'm scraping Goodreads to figure out the "Want to Read" list. Libby provides a nice API though. Any feedback is appreciated!! I also have a substack that I'm going to use to post updates, so follow along there if you're…

In plain words

This tool integrates Goodreads and Libby to display library availability for books on a user's want-to-read list. Instead of manually checking each book in the Libby app, users can see all availability status and wait times in one place. The tool scrapes Goodreads for want-to-read lists and uses Libby's API to gather current library data. It is designed for readers who use both platforms and want to streamline discovering which desired books are available at their library.

    I scraped 3B Goodreads reviews to train a better recommendation modelNov 2025 · book.sv · ▲606

    Hi everyone, For the past couple months I've been working on a website with two main features: - https://book.sv - put in a list of books and get recommendations on what to read next from a model trained on over a billion reviews - https://book.sv/intersect - put in a list of books and find the users on Goodreads who have read them all (if you don't want to be included in these results, you can opt-out here: https://book.sv/remove-my-data) Technical info available here: https://book.sv/how-it-works Note 1: If you only provide one or two…

    I made a table comparer to quickly find a new book to read2025 · nextread.info · ▲51

    After a few weeks of programming a few minutes at the time, next to my full time job, I created this tool that helps you pick your next book from your long(er) want-to-read list. In essence, it is a table with filters and column sorters. My problem was that the Goodreads website does not allow you to filter multiple columns at a time. That is why I created an alternative way to go through your books. Unfortunately, Goodreads no longer shares API keys, so it relies on its export functionality for a csv file. Not all the required information for your book search is present in this CSV file. To…

  • I made a books recommendation app based on your mood2024 · booksbymood.com · ▲173

    Hello HN, I noticed that I often looked for new books, depending on my mood (e.g., if I'm feeling tired, I want to find books that'll help me fix that and improve my sleep). So, I created my 1st indie project, BooksByMood. BooksByMood will help you find your next read based on your mood w/ - Books averaging 4.09/5 on Goodreads - Each book comes with an explanation of why it's selected for your mood - 18 moods to explore I hope you'll enjoy using the website, Cheers!

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
