I have been fighting with #bookwyrm as a solution to recording my #reading and #book data. It is a little #disappointing. I want to use it, but for me (mass importing of data) it is too time consuming going through hundreds of entries that are either "slightly" different from what currently exists on the service, or is not on any instance networked and therefore throw up import errors.
Thing is, you look at what you've got and think: "That's correct data there, I've checked against multiple sources and all the names, authors and ISBNs are correct. Why can't I just push a button and import it all? I mean it's better than what is being suggested to me at present. Why is that <random book> appearing six times on my list against book I know are okay?"
A morning wasted. I don't need a solution, I have an alternative that isn't #goodreads or bookwyrm. But you try and support or use something and it's... It's like me having to recompile a Linux v2.2 kernel to get USB support around 2000-2001.

Personally I believe that recompiling the Linux Kernel is easier. 🙂🙃😉
