May have to research to see if it would be useful. Just posted on Reddit to ask about an API.

Everything in the DB is focused on Goodreads. I may need to refactor/readjust the DB and code to support other sources. Hmmmm. Also may need to use a universal locator for books vs using the goodreads id.

I just looked into this a bit. Their shelves dynamically load as you scroll down the page - it's an XHR call that returns ugly HTML. it does provide straightforward GET URLS with page=X parameter. It's doable but will be slighty ugly

I'm holding off on this for now. If they could provide a nice API or RSS feed or something it would be much easier/better.

This looks impossible right now - as far as I can tell, you have to be logged in to see a user's shelf.
To make this work, there must be a publicly-accessible way to see a user's shelf.

NEVERMIND - I think this can work. I think you can make shelves public? Maybe? The two I found I think are not public so can only be seen when logged in, but MY shelf is public (maybe?) and I can see that even if not logged in.

Just to confirm - profiles and tags can be made public. For example you can see my TBR, or look at one of my tags. I think using a tag would be the most analogous to a GR shelf, so e.g. we could make a "library" tag and then point OverReader to that. Fingers crossed as this would allow me to finally ditch GR pretty much entirely!
