Johan Nilsson | 22 comments Made an android app that lists the unread books from authors you've read..

Give it a go?

René (bookgeek4life) | 1 comments Hi Johan,

I downloaded your app to play around and I can't get past the second screen with the "Open Goodreads in Browser" & "Find on Goodreads" buttons.

I entered my user id and the browser button works but the find button does nothing.

Johan Nilsson | 22 comments Hey René, thanks for letting me know and for testing out the app!

I've understood it's because your profile is private and that's not something I had come across previously.

I've submitted a new version to the play store (version 1.3) which should resolve this issue. Should be up in a couple of hours. Please give it a try and let me know how it goes!

It will be quite interesting to see whether it falls under the pressure of that impressive amount of read books you have! :)

Johan Nilsson | 22 comments As I've come to understand there's a bit more to the private profiles. This should be sorted this weekend.

Johan Nilsson | 22 comments The goodreads auth is the next thing on the list, there should be a new version up this weekend. Would love if you could try it then.

Also things I've been thinking on adding is being able to mark as read (on goodreads), series info (showing unread books from series you've read), unread by author (different sort of unread list) and sorting unread by newest release date.

Once private profiles are sorted feel free to drop ideas how to make the app more useful.

Johan Nilsson | 22 comments New version on it's way to the play store. 1.5 should be adding support for private profiles. Let me know if there are any issues.
