goodreads2roam

Converts GoodReads csv export into the RoamResearch Markdown.

You can get the source csv file with your books at https://www.goodreads.com/review/import

Usage

The easiest way to use this is via web app at https://goodreads2.roam.garden/ (it's fully local and you can find it's code here)

You can also use it as a CLI by running the lib/goodreads2roam.js script directly (nodejs is a requirement)

Usage: goodreads2roam [options] input-file output-file

Example: goodreads2roam -s read -s fiction export.csv books.md
This would take books that are in 'read' and 'fiction' shelves from 'export.csv' file
and convert only them to Roam Markdown format writing them to 'books.md' file

Options:
  -s, --shelf SHELF  #{}  Shelves to include (books from all shelves are included by default)
  -h, --help

Development

The project is written in ClojureScript. See ClojureScript IntelliJ IDEA and shadow-cljs for dev setup instructions.

Run lein run -m shadow.cljs.devtools.cli release script to build it from the source.
