This is a nice time saving tool for "minimalist" information hoarding.
A pet project of mine is to thin out my bookshelf only to books I regularly reach for and store "never going to read" books out of sight.
The idea is, if I can save the details of the "never going to read books" and acquire a digital copy of them, it may be easier for me to psychologically let go of the physical copy and gain the storage space again.
I was going to take a photo of my crowded bookshelves and manually put the ISBN and titles into a spreadsheet. Keeping the photos simply for extra reference. Your project making the photo clickable is a great bridge between the data and artifact.
- abhgh 3y agoThis is interesting. For me it seems like me not reaching out for books is a consequence of lazy "rotation", i.e., these are the same books I'd eventually find time to read if I could see them around often enough, so when I have some leisure I don't forget about them. Anyway this is our (my wife and mine) hypothesis - so we are currently working on rotating books, let's see how that works out : - )
