Order books sensibly about mind-expanding-books HOT 19 CLOSED

can do for sure!
the only thing, that maybe in the source code the separators won't be well aligned. Put probably that can also be solved. Will try to achieve this today.

Fixed in #105

I like the idea of Goodreads rating but it can change overtime. It's a lot of work for a single person to update ratings of all the books and sort them in each category.(This has to be done every couple of months) If someone can write a script for this it would be cool. Alphabetically and First publishing date is of not much use I guess. Maybe we can add the first publishing date along with title. @dakshshah96 What do you think?

@hackerkid I think the Goodreads API will be very helpful here to generate a list of all books with their ratings. Let me see what I can find on that.

Yes, the publishing date can be added to the title. I can start working on that if that's what we want to do. 👍

@dakshshah96 I will give more importance in sorting the list according to the Goodreads API. You can also tweak the tool to display the Goodreads rating and date of publishing. We will run the script every couple of months !!

I'm starting to write python script for this!

Ordering by title and author ready (check example files).
(The functionality is not refactored to a command line tool yet)
Will take a look on the ratings tomorrow it think.

@geritol Nice :)

from mind-expanding-books.

@hackerkid Now I am retrieving the publishing year, original language, average rating a page count from the API.
The question here is, should we show some of these in the .md file?
If so what would you propose for the new 'look' of a line containing a book?

from mind-expanding-books.

@geritol I am thinking we can convert the current format to that of a table.

Can you do something like this easily?

from mind-expanding-books.

by-author.md.zip
@hackerkid Seems not all the rows have by before the author name.
This confuses my parser.
Could you fix this, please in the meantime?

You should look rows with odd values in the author column.

Thanks!
