📚 Book reviews for your Jekyll site, built for Minima

Hi.

jekyll-book-review's Issues

Add book cover thumbnails to book list

Comment the code

Make jekyll-book-review easy to hack with better code commenting across the project

Write project's vision and roadmap 🚀🌟

Display custom message when the OL API returns a 404

Currently if a cover doesn't exist on the Open Library Covers API, the image alt is displayed.

It would be nice to have for example a message prompting viewers to add the book to the Open Library!

Automatically import book reviews from Goodreads

From a Goodreads .csv export

🔢 Add pagination or load more to books list

This hasn't come up yet (too few book reviews), but it will.

Add a "back to books" link on the review template

In the review.html layout, add a button so that users can go back to the book reviews list after reading a review (example review).

⭐ Add star rating feature ⭐

Add a star rating feature with custom front matter in book reviews.

Display star rating for each book in books list and on book reviews.

Use an icon font for having gray stars turn yellow with ratings.

Integrate with Amazon wishlists 🎁

🎁 Make a "to read" list that integrates with Amazon wishlists to let site visitors "donate" a book! 🎁

🚀 Skyrocket API usage

Currently the project only uses the Open Library's Covers API to load book covers.

Improvement ideas:

• Support other APIs if Open Library returns a 404 (see #2), such as the Goodreads API or the Amazon API.
• Write only a reference (for example ISBN) or an url (Amazon, Goodreads, Open Library) and an API displays the book's title, author, publication date etc.

Finish writing README and rewrite demo content

Reference books using jekyll-scholar?

The jekyll-scholar plugin isn't supported by Github Pages.
