Generic import specification
Aug 16, 2024
Give readers the tools they need to build their own import files. A CSV specification with a list of required and optional columns of data would be useful for readers who previously used tools other than Goodreads or other common services.
I previously kept my Want To Read and Already Read lists in a big .txt file. I'd like to be able to take that file, format it to fit some specification with whatever columns are required, and then import it into my Want To Read/Read lists in Hardcover.

THIS! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do anything like that when importing from Goodreads. Since they don't export start date I wanted to fill that in in an additional column for my import here which would have been tedious but less tedious going book by book in Hardcover, but I didn't know if it would work.
