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 :)

We have a new feature that we are testing out, an XRPC API for getting the identifiers that we know of for a book. This should make it easier to find books in the hive or resolve isbn, isbn13, goodreads ids to hive ids. This is another step towards making the bookhive dataset even more open
