After getting tired of manually making note of all the books I find online that seem interesting (from Twitter, HN, Reddit, etc.) I made a chrome extension to help me keep track of them + the website where they come from. Thought this would be of value to some other readers out here. Would love some feedback!

How does this compare to Pocket?

Not too familiar with how Pocket works but this one is more focused on books rather than articles / text. It'll be able to recognize books based on highlighted text, then save the author and cover and back blurb to your list.

I don't think this will be a popular comment here, but I use an amazon shopping list for this.

I use Goodreads. There is even a third party Chrome extension.

A pro for Goodreads is the massive user base so reviews and groups etc are good resources for finding out if a book is worth your time.

Although I do like the Babelshelf interface. Clean easy to find a saved book. Goodreads is horrible to look at and can be super distracting.

That's fair! Just wanted a faster way for myself as I'm quite lazy. The hope is that there will be more useful features to add that make it a better than Amazon shopping lists when it comes to books.

I use the Amazon checkout for this :(
