Description

Category: Learning & Knowledge Management

The Bookshelf plugin provides a centralized and visual way to manage your reading activity within Obsidian. It gathers metadata from your book notes, such as covers, authors, and ratings, and displays them in a personal library view. It also tracks reading progress through entries made in book notes or daily notes, offering a chronological view of your reading journey. Users can analyze their habits with statistics and charts, customize metadata fields to suit their note-taking style, and define how progress is recorded through flexible pattern-based parsing.

Reporting Bugs / Requesting Features / Contributing

If something isn't working as expected, or if you have an idea for a new feature:

  1. First, check the list of open issues to see if it has already been reported.
  2. If it exists, give it a 👍 to help with prioritization
  3. If it doesn't exist yet, create a new issue.

I'm not looking for code contributions. I work as a software developer full-time and this is a side project I do for fun, so I'd like to keep it that way. Pull-requests require code reviews and discussions, sometimes about changes I'm not even interested in. With AI tools it has become easy to swamp a project with changes. I don't have time for that.

No AI used

No GenAI, AI Coding Agent, or similar tools were used to write this code. All this is human-made slop.

Support

This plugin is completely free to use. That said, developing and maintaining software takes time and energy. If Bookshelf has been helpful to you, consider supporting its development.
