Wishlist for books that are currently not in the library
Feature Request Template for Booklore
What problem or limitation are you encountering?
Would be nice to have kind of a wish list, where users can add books that they want which are currently no in the library.
What solution or improvement do you propose?
Search for books and add them to a wish list if they are not there. Maybe automatically for series?
This would be a nice feature for sure. Even for myself I could see adding a URL to something like goodreads or amazon and it just pulls that down into a wishlist. Maybe it exists as a shelf to easily integrate with what already exists as a browsing experience. I don't know how that could be accomplished if its not an actual library entity however. I know within 30 seconds of showing my partner booklore the comment was "Would be nice if it had a wishlist"
This is a feature I was thinking would be nice too. I'm going to take a look at the code and see if its something I can get working even if its a bit janky to start with :)
This is definitely doable. We would just need a new table, book_wishlist, to store the wishlisted books. I don’t have the capacity to work on it right now, but if @adam-blackwater or anyone else is able to contribute, that would be great.
I haven't had a chance to set up the development environment yet but I am hoping to have the time this Monday.
I'll leave an update here with here I get to!
