Show HN: I embedded a book search into Notion

3 pointsby RBouscheryalmost 3 years ago
Hey HN!<p>(Full transparency: I&#x27;ve not been a very active member of this community (yet). But I want to change that and thought it could be a good start to showcase a project that I&#x27;ve built recently.)<p>I read a lot of books and always loved having some sort of digital bookshelf where I could easily keep track of books that were recommended to me, keep all of my notes &amp; highlights and share what I&#x27;m reading with friends.<p>For the past 10 years, I&#x27;ve used Goodreads for this. But I became more and more frustrated with it - Amazon seems to mostly neglect it. At the same time, I started using Notion to organize pretty much everything else in my life.<p>I saw how other people organized their books and reading lists in Notion but I felt it was a burden to manually transfer all of the book data.<p>That&#x27;s why I built a little app that&#x27;s embedded into a Notion template to provide a book search natively inside of it. Now you can search for, and add any book to your Notion bookshelf without leaving the app and with no manual data entry. I also built an importer to transfer all Goodreads data to Notion (including beautiful book covers) with the click of a button.<p>You can check out my digital bookshelf here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rbouschery.notion.site&#x2F;Robbie-s-Public-Bookshelf-7d33c30d29984d60b57221b21c23f6a3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rbouschery.notion.site&#x2F;Robbie-s-Public-Bookshelf-7d3...</a>
