Are you interested in a federated alternative to Goodreads that doesn't use Amazon?

because I'm making a federated alternative to Goodreads that doesn't use Amazon

yet again I am asking how I'm unemployed but still have more meetings than my friends with jobs

people are cool

I added i18n support on sunday and people have already translated bookwyrm into three entire languages

my full name has six "e"s in it

I love finding out the "e"-ful actual names of people I know through oulipo

if anyone wants to make a spanish or german translation, hmu, at least then I'll be able to read a few words of the ui

I'm so excited about bookwyrm being available in french that I use bookwyrm in french now, a language which I speak zero amount

cat vs book

does anyone know of a user interface out in the wild that lets users rate with half stars?

me? online? i've never been online

I'm going to put a temporary pause on giving out BookWyrm invites starting now -- the instance has gotten pretty big and I want to get to know the community and work on the codebase before adding more strangers into the mix.

If you have spare invites, please only share them with people you know and trust ❤️

I added internationalization to BookWyrm, how cool, now all I have to do is.... learn another language

the point in your childhood when you realize that coinstar and cointelpro are very different things

I was just using the user agent code that @renatolond wrote for formatting activitypub json, it's so useful and I would never have thought of that approach

taking my very-snug earbud headphones out feels kind of like body horror

the fact that people contribute to bookwyrm? incredible. every time I use code someone added I'm just so grateful

it's so good!! it's this plus a piece of minced preserved lemon, and with a generous use of oil:

I've made this a bunch but this is the first time I added preserved lemon and HECK
