When searching to add a book, we'll now check your collection as well .
Hopefully preventing you from going through the trouble to attempt to add a new book and then getting an error!
Moving a book from Reading "backwards" will add an end date to current reading.
“Backwards” being any of Wishlist, Backlog, or To-Read.
It will add an end date to the current reading, but won’t mark it as “Finished.”
Marking a book finished prompts you to add a review.
This is just a little convenience thing. I always want to make some sort of note once I’ve finished something and give it a quick star rating.
Once you save a review/reading, it’ll highlight it on the page now so you don’t have to go scroll to find it.
Enjoy!
Search Open Library for anything!
You can now search for anything (Open Library edition ids, whatever) instead of only title and author. The default is still title/author because I think that’ll be what you usually want, but now you can have it either way.
Thanks to Marla for the suggestion and for remembering that it used to be set to search “everything” originally! I had totally forgotten. 😅
Change order of covers
If a book has multiple covers, you can now change the order of them. The first one is what you see in lists.
Open Library is back!
Enjoy the persistent “add” button at the bottom of every page now!
After recovering from being attacked, Open Library appears to be working again!
I had just added the persistent “Add” / “+” button at the bottom right of every page just as that was happening. Now you can actually use it properly!
Logbook page
If you’re as tightly wound as I am, you’ll appreciate a page where you can see at a glance everything your books have been doing.
Open Library offline
Archive.org (which Open Library is a part of) is apparently under attack and is currently offline. I’ve added some extra error handling so at least it doesn’t crash the whole site when you search for a book now.
Authors now in search results
When you search using the field at the top of the page, we now show any matching authors as well as any matching books in two different grouped results. Author links go to a page which displays all their books.
Account registration is working again!
If you can read this, I guess you already know or don’t care 🤷
View your collection offline!
We’ve got some limited offline functionality now. You won’t be able to add or edit books, but you should be able to see all your books in their various statuses even if you lose internet access. Pretty cool, right?
Add reviews to readings
You can now add reviews directly to readings (along with a reading’s optional rating) instead of using notes.
You can now add series of books to a collection
Pages with lots of books should be much faster now!
Genre(s) now displayed on book detail pages
Added this here changelog section
You can now add multiple genres to a book
