A book catalogging application that allows you to keep track of the books you own, both digital and physical.
This is still pretty heavily under development, but closing in on something I think I can personally use. I hope it may be useful to others who were looking for something to catalog their physical books & more with. Hopefully more to come!
- Barcode scanning of physical books via keyboard input scanners (webcam one may still work but have not had much luck with it)
- Ability to sync with digital libraries, currently from Audiobookshelf (via API), Calibre (via actual path to library files), & BookLore via API
- Adding books via title or ISBN pulls metadata from Open Library or Google Books (Library of Congress available but not sure it's worth using)
