UPDATE: We've added support for Docker!

Hi everyone. I am excited to announce my project, Bibliotheca! After using apps like StroyGraph and Fable, I wanted to create my a self-hosted library tracking app. This app is very, very new and this is the first time I have done anything like this. My background is in networking, not coding- so please feel free to contribute and provide any feedback/tips. I want to humbly declare that this is all new to me.

Bibliotheca is a personal library and reading tracker web application built with Flask. It allows you to log, organize, and visualize your reading journey. Add books by ISBN, track your reading status, log daily reading, and generate monthly wrap-up images of your finished books.

Features

  • Add Books: Quickly add books by ISBN, with automatic cover and metadata fetching.
  • Track Reading: Mark books as "Currently Reading", "Want to Read", "Finished", or "Library Only".
  • Reading Logs: Log your reading days and track your reading streak.
  • Monthly Wrap-Up: Generate a shareable image collage of books finished each month.
  • Search: Search for books using the Google Books API.
  • And more!

I plan to implement Docker soon. I hope you enjoy this app and I look forward to sharing it with others!
