    I guess the point is being open-source and integrating with open-source projects. Is this the case with LibraryThing? 🤔

      It’s not, and it’s run by a private for-profit corporation, but once they re-enable their API it doesn’t really matter for the purpose of scraping the data. Open data is open data, and integration is just a hook, not part of the core functionality of the app.
