    They miss some critical features like tracking series and since they only offer integration with Open Library most of your books will have to be added manually.

    Once https://www.librarything.com fixes their API, it would be nice to see an integration with Openreads.

      I guess the point is being open-source and integrating with open-source projects. Is this the case with LibraryThing? 🤔

        It’s not, and it’s run by a private for-profit corporation, but once they re-enable their API it doesn’t really matter for the purpose of scraping the data. Open data is open data, and integration is just a hook, not part of the core functionality of the app.
