Show HN: A Chrome extension to help save books you want to read
- augustinel 6y agoAfter getting tired of manually making note of all the books I find online that seem interesting (from Twitter, HN, Reddit, etc.) I made a chrome extension to help me keep track of them + the website where they come from. Thought this would be of value to some other readers out here. Would love some feedback!
- moneywoes 6y agoHow does this compare to Pocket?

- augustinel 6y agoNot too familiar with how Pocket works but this one is more focused on books rather than articles / text. It'll be able to recognize books based on highlighted text, then save the author and cover and back blurb to your list.
- doopy1 6y agoI don't think this will be a popular comment here, but I use an amazon shopping list for this.
- boring_twenties 6y agoI use the Amazon checkout for this :(
- augustinel 6y agoThat's fair! Just wanted a faster way for myself as I'm quite lazy. The hope is that there will be more useful features to add that make it a better than Amazon shopping lists when it comes to books.
- Niven 6y agoI use Goodreads. There is even a third party Chrome extension. A pro for Goodreads is the massive user base so reviews and groups etc are good resources for finding out if a book is worth your time. Although I do like the Babelshelf interface. Clean easy to find a saved book. Goodreads is horrible to look at and can be super distracting.
