Gotta support the readers when and how you can 😉

Thank you much @tijs.org for your support! Also, the only other person to have contributed to the code base 😅

We've added a new "Genre explorer", now, you can explore all of the genres of books within the BookHive library.

Had to renew the BookHive domain today (I can't believe it has almost been 1 year) It costed 42 dollars, between that & the Apple Developer subscription it will cost me $150 / year to keep BookHive alive So, I started a Ko-Fi where you can tip me if you like BookHive & want to see it stick around!

I signed up for @bookhive.buzz (Goodreads replacement/enhancement app) this week as I continue to learn more about the mysteries of ATProto. Like it a lot so far. Y'all should join me! 😀

In building @bookhive.buzz, it was: 1) deciding on the lexicon (trying to stick with the AT Proto ethos, and give people their data - all of it, which sort of goes against normal DB design since it duplicates data in different places)

Love the interop that @popfeed.social has integrated. Real ATProto vibes

Just added more book data scraping to BookHive! Much more info added, longer book descriptions, author bios, publication details & even genres. Here is a before & after:

Amazon bought goodreads, but now there’s BookHive.

@popfeed.social how are you able to do this? Very cool!

Bookhive app spotted!

I have a whole folder of ATProto apps on iOS (plus a select few directly on my Home Screen). Today we call them “ATproto” apps. In the future … they’re just a better way to build a wide range of apps, where users own their data, login in anywhere, and choose different interfaces.

If anyone is wondering why I haven’t been doing anything for @bookhive.buzz it’s because I bought a DJ set, this is basically my new personality now

Totally agree, and would love more discussion around this. #atproto apps should ideally be more upfront in how they actually store stuff. The Atmosphere is more than just a friends graph.

I'd like to clear something up from a recent article by @laurenshof.online, here: connectedplaces.leaflet.pub/3lxx2rk4pv22r Thank you to @tijs.org for bringing this up in a GitHub issue here: github.com/nperez0111/b...

It's based on the @bookhive.buzz OAuth implementation but all mistakes are my own. It basically implements the oauth client part of the guide I wrote earlier tijs.leaflet.pub/3lxmy4lk6es2g

Just imported my Goodreads history into @bookhive.buzz Looking pretty nice: bookhive.buzz/profile/daff...

Check out @bookhive.buzz, if you’re looking for an alternative to Goodreads for tracking books

Anyway, found it in the app store. Looking forward to filling in some recent reads! TY for the great app!!! 🐝📚

YAY!

We've done it! The BookHive mobile app has been approved by Apple! app.bookhive.buzz/app Download it to your iPhone or iPad today!

started using @bookhive.buzz to track reading on here!!! yippee yay wahoo

Now, when viewing your own profile page, you'll see a dense table view of all of your books in your hive. This should allow for easier management of book statuses, after a large import!

Working on getting a submission to the App Store for the BookHive iOS app. Here is a little sneak peek 😉

Second submission coming in, I hope that Apple is satisfied by my explanation that I don't actually collect any sign-up data and all the information is publicly available, so I'm not really tracking anybody or anything. Will be great to have @bookhive.buzz finally on the app store!

Sembla que ja tenim alternatives per a GoodReads basades en #ATProto! @bookhive.buzz @popfeed.social @bibliome.club 🥳

Collaborating and sharing on reading lists? Sounds cool! @bibliome.club seems like the missing piece to bookhive

🤫... We cookin' something up: app.bookhive.buzz

Just paid for an Apple Developer account... Now, it's just figuring out how to sign and release an app 🫠 @bookhive.buzz is getting an app!

Thanks to @tijs.org, we now won't log you out every 15 minutes. And, more importantly, we now have a "recent buzzes from friends", keep up with any book updates from people you follow on bluesky!

excited to be finding new apps like @bookhive.buzz and @leaflet.pub, i'll be spending the weekend playing around with them

wow neat, i hope goodreads can finally be laid to rest soon

I want to build something for @bookhive.buzz where I can actually have my Koreader device synchronize my progress, as I'm reading the book. But, to do this, I will need a change on Koreader to provide more information about the current book being synced. I made a GitHub issue for it, and a patch.

Oh dang @bookhive.buzz is cool.

I did end up buying The Shadow of What Was Lost and started reading it. Fun to see that @baileytownsend.dev added it as a “To Read” not long ago.

Went on a day trip out to Chilliwack and stopped by The Book Man, a really great new & used bookstore www.bookman.ca I like browsing for unusual & classic used cookbooks. Decided to enter them in @bookhive.buzz I’d like to make my own “shelves” - these are in “want to read”.

We now support importing books from a Goodreads export! This allows you to migrate over your books to a platform that respects your data, built on ATProto.

I've been dormant for the winter, but now that it is spring, I'm back to work on the app. Here is a small update on the BookHive App

Bookhive mobile app coming soon™ A bunch of kinks to work out, but aiming to be a cross-platform, open data & open source alternative to Goodreads!

Hello World!
