v0.1.0
The first shelf
The first release of Anagnosma provides a complete foundation for managing a personal book catalog and wishlist.
- Manage books, copies, subjects, notes, covers, publishers, publication years, page counts, and other metadata.
- Search the catalog and wishlist, filter books by subject, and switch between grid, carousel, table, and subject views.
- Maintain a separate wishlist for books to purchase and read, with the same browsing tools as the catalog.
- Add wishlist books without requiring a physical copy, while keeping wishlist and owned catalog ISBNs separate.
- Import CSV files from Anagnosma, Goodreads, LibraryThing, or other sources with automatic column matching and preview.
- Export Catalog and Wishlist books as CSV, Excel, Word, or PDF documents with collection, version, and export-date metadata.
- Scan ISBNs on mobile devices and small screens, then look up book details from Open Library.
- Create, rename, search, and delete subjects with book usage counts.
- Detect duplicate ISBNs during book creation and import to help protect the collection from duplicate entries.
- Seed sample catalog and wishlist books to help new users explore the application.
- Provide responsive layouts for desktop and mobile screens, with light and dark theme support.
- Keep catalog and wishlist data isolated per signed-in user.
