#Bookstr is coming together! 📚
There's still a long way to go, but I'm happy with the recent improvements.

It's very buggy, but so are all vibe coding Nostr apps...and most normal coding Nostr apps.

Curious where you're pulling the books data from? I'm guessing outside of nostr, does it get scraped from somewhere and then stored on a bookstr relay?
All Book Data pulls from Open Library API (https://openlibrary.org/developers/api), and I'm not storing book data to relays besides ISBNs as identifiers on events.
User's events (ex. "Add book to my TBR") are basically a list of the relevant ISBNs, then the app uses the ISBN to fetch the book data from Open library. I am heavily caching the Open Library responses to ISBN lookups in cloudflare to prevent havign to do too many lookups, though.
Its not a perfect system by any means, still lots of issues with searching, etc., but they provide a great service making all their data available to the public for free!
Ah very cool. Thanks for the explanation. Looking forward to using this!
