Post Description

"Open Books in Zlib Or Anna's Archive with a button on Goodreads in one click."

I built a free, open source browser extension that adds buttons directly onto Goodreads book pages. Instead of copying titles and searching manually, you just click the badge for whichever source you want.

You can also toggle sources on/off so say if you only want Z-Lib and Anna's Archive badges and not Gutenberg, you can do exactly that.

Supported sources:

Anna's Archive

Z-Library

Project Gutenberg

AudioBookBay (new!)

Supported sites:

• Goodreads

• StoryGraph

• Hardcover

• Babelio

• Novelupdates

it is available on :

-chrome

-firefox

- Edge

Available on Chrome and Firefox. Also for firefox mobile

Anime.js used for animation

No data collected , you can verify that yourself via the source code on GitHub or the privacy page.

This has been updated to V1.0.8 !

it is free and open source ,

if you want to support me and like this extension , pls star it and rate it. ( Also you can github sponsor me! )

Thanks.

Self-hosted alternative to Goodreads. Own your reading data

The clever tradeoff here is practicality: it outsources persistence to your Airtable base so setup is minutes, not hours, and ships built-in Google Books search plus optional OpenAI recommendations so you don't need a separate recommendation stack. It delivers a usable, modern UI and a low-friction path to ownership, but the 'privacy-first' claim is only as strong as your Airtable/OpenAI choices and the free-tier record limits — worth it if you want something fast to run locally rather than inventing a new backend.
