I can't function without the bulk edit tool goodreads has. My actual goodreads list is 1400 books and I need to be able to go through groups of 50-100 checking boxes to make lists. My real preference for fiction would be to be able to tag by series/author.
Just remaking my "high quality psychology/adjacent" books list by typing every name one at a time is way more than I can stomach.
There are some features for that in LT, power edit or something, though I haven't actually explored them in depth, or even looked at them in years, so I could be wrong about those.
It could have evolved since I tried it. I think I'll probably still end up targeting my own, though, because I don't care about any of the social stuff, but do really want to be able to treat series and authors as first class citizens. (The idea being to share a list of favorite series with brief blurbs about what I like about each, ideally kind of ad hoc so I can quickly create a list without rewriting every thought I've had about it but tailor it to a specific person or conversation.)
But yeah, limited by my commitment to it I guess.
I would look forward to it! Do remember to let us know whenever it reaches any kind of usable state.
I understand that it can take a long time due to other priorities, but now you know there are some other people waiting for it too, so it may give you some additional motivation!
