So I like the premise, but it's way too raw for me to transition.

Importing my books from goodreads isn't bad, but making lists required searching every book I want to add individually. As I like to keep a couple large groups of books and add/update my reading history in bulk, this is a huge downgrade from goodreads allowing me to view my books in a table and checkbox books that I wish to add. (I did download the code with the intent of implementing a better way to add lists myself, but ultimately decided that the time I have available for coding projects is limited and that it was too much to put ahead of any of the other stuff I want to do for now).

I don't keep that many lists, but I have one of 100-ish nonfiction to split those out and a second for the 50-ish books I consider quality books adjacent to the brain or intelligence, and I really don't want to go through copy-pasting 100 titles over to replicate it.
