Jelu

Description

Self‑Hosted Book Tracker

Overview

Jelu is an open‑source, self‑hosted application designed to manage your reading lists—books you have finished, are currently reading, and plan to read.

Purpose

It functions as a personal alternative to services like Goodreads, eliminating the need to switch providers when online platforms shut down or lose support. By keeping all data locally, it removes the hassle of exporting and re‑importing information, which often leads to data loss with other services.

Data Control & Integration

Jelu provides an API that allows you to script interactions or integrate with third‑party tools and services—capabilities not typically available in most online book trackers.
