Converts GoodReads csv export into the RoamResearch Markdown.
You can get the source csv file with your books at https://www.goodreads.com/review/import
The easiest way to use this is via web app at https://goodreads2.roam.garden/ (it's fully local and you can find it's code here)
You can also use it as a CLI by running the lib/goodreads2roam.js script directly (nodejs is a requirement)
Usage: goodreads2roam [options] input-file output-file
Example: goodreads2roam -s read -s fiction export.csv books.md
This would take books that are in 'read' and 'fiction' shelves from 'export.csv' file
and convert only them to Roam Markdown format writing them to 'books.md' file
Options:
-s, --shelf SHELF #{} Shelves to include (books from all shelves are included by default)
-h, --help
The project is written in ClojureScript. See ClojureScript IntelliJ IDEA and shadow-cljs for dev setup instructions.
Run lein run -m shadow.cljs.devtools.cli release script to build it from the source.
This package and my other OpenSource work is supported by https://roam.garden/ - a service that allows you to publish notes from your Roam Graph as a beautiful static site (digital garden).
