I have my dream ebook sync setup going. 1. Login with OAuth 2. Drop your ebook in a folder 3. It compresses it for the CrossPoint device 4. Uploads to @bookhive.buzz's OPDS server 5. I can pull the book and read it on my CrossPoint device Bonus is it syncs my reading progress too.

BookHive now syncs with your e-reader. Upload your ebooks, browse them from KOReader, Crosspoint, or Readest, via OPDS, and your reading progress syncs back into BookHive.

Don't worry guys, Part 2 is here: Houston, we've got a book & review lexicon! I don't think it is in it's final shape just yet, but I believe it to be a strong proposal, and well justified if I may say so, myself 😌

I've been thinking a lot about how to define a shared book lexicon for the Lexicon Community Working Group: discourse.atmosphere.community/t/in-which-a... But, instead wrote a treatise against ISBNs. I hope I can link to it whenever someone asks why their import didn't work on @bookhive.buzz 😝

Damn this Atmosphere hole runs deep. I now "accidentally" have done imports from LinkedIn to @sifa.id and from Goodreads to @bookhive.buzz And what I really like is that I can see people that I follow on bsky there without any extra effort. E.g. @viet.shy.cat seems to be all over the Atmosphere :)

Finally got a handle on this. We are now running 4 separate bookhive servers which should make it much more reliable!

So many bots have been crawling bookhive the past couple of days that I had to turn on bot protection on CloudFlare. This makes me pretty sad to have to do this, but I'm otherwise getting hammered with requests. I couldn't even see bluesky because of this

If you’re into books, may I suggest Bookhive, a Good Reads-like reading tracker that is easy to use, open source, runs on AT Proto and is developed by very nice people? I’ve been enjoying using it. bookhive.buzz

I have bought so so so many books on the basis of Bluesky.

@brittanyellich.com I just watched your bsky.app/profile/brit... #Atmosphereconf talk. I heard from a few people that you were doing some interesting stuff that I might be interested in, and they were right! I'd love to see if BookHive could add book clubs based on @opensocial.community

Brittany Ellich@brittanyellich.com

My talk from #Atmosphereconf is available to watch! There has been so much energy around groups/communities on ATProto and I'm SO excited to see how things transform in this space!! youtu.be/GVOywon3X-Q?...

I've been thinking about book clubs in two ways, given that you are apart of one, I wonder how well it resonates with you: 1. Book clubs with friends, like a traditional book club where a group can nominate books & share their thoughts as they read & can keep track of each other's progress

2. Book clubs based on books, where the book is the topic, and people can share their experience of a book asynchronously. It makes reading a book more of a shared experience where you can read a chapter and see what others thought at that point. It is centered on a book, so anyone can join along

After a fearsome battle against bots trying to scrape the site & ruining the performance for actual users. The hive has prevailed! If anyone sees performance issues with the site, please tag me with what you saw!

I'm not sure what took me so long to implement this, but we now have logins that last for 180 days, and if you use the app within that window, you may never see a login screen again!

I'm feeling very honored today to be able to speak about my work on @bookhive.buzz to so many people at #ATmosphereConf today at 16:00 So many people that I've met and admired even before meeting them in person. It's been such a pleasure, and felt so welcomed by everyone!
