Open Library (not activitypub compatible) is an ISBN database type service. But, it also has reading list/want to read/book review and rating features. So, my question is from a features standpoint and index standpoint (number of books indexed), which is better?
You must log in or register to comment.
IIRC bookwyrm lets you search openlibrary for books if they’re not known by your server or some well-known instances like bookwyrm.social
Like that’s my point, why not just use Open library at that state?
Mostly for the federated bits I assume. Being able to follow people’s bookwyrm accounts from your other socials is an interesting idea, though I don’t know how often it actually happens in practice. If that stuff doesn’t interest you then yeah just use OL directly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks, I was wondering if there was any feature/index issues. Since there doesn’t seem to be any, I will use OL. Appreciate the reply.
