BookWyrm Books and comics app for Android description
This is an Android client for BookWyrm – a federated social network for tracking your reading, talking about books, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next. It is just BookWyrm put into a webview element, nothing special – but it adds some convenience on top:
- bookwyrm links can be made to open with the app (e.g. clicking on the link to someones userprofile will open that from your own bookwyrm instance)
- thanks to that, you can immediately follow them easily if you want.
- it lets you easily return to your own home timeline when viewing something like posts, on another bookwyrm instance, because the back button is then modified for that.
- You can also search for books by scanning the ISBN, no matter what instance of Bookwyrm you use.
The ISBN scanning feature is created with the zxing-android-embedded library.
