For this category, this time last year I would have recommended Simple Mobile Tools’ apps. Now that they’re sold off to a dodgy company I guess the baton has been passed to Fossify.

I mainly want simple apps that Just Work for basic purposes like this. “Everything apps” are not a concept I believe in. I used QKSMS in the past but it just ballooned in features I didn’t care about. I looked once at Koler and decided all the swiping wasn’t for me.

I mean, FLOSS as such falls into that category but you might not want to say that out loud in earshot of some developers.

If you want a little bit of hand holding to ease you into Arch, Endeavour OS is a pretty smooth distro that makes the install and configuration easier.

It has to scrobbleif it wants to be successful

Idk, scrobbling just puts everything you consume on to a platform or log. That’s all fine and good but it’s not a review function as OP was asking about.

The two can certainly work together, I just don’t see scrobbling as key to a review site or network.

I could swear I found some federated wiki or similar that catalogued all sorts of objects and media, but it completely eludes me now. That could be a back end for more specialised projects.

Edit: Apologies, I was thinking of Inventaire|github. “A libre collaborative resource mapper powered by open-knowledge, starting with books” — so the project is open to other media but focuses on books for now.

I’ve wondered about the same thing. Heck, somebody could fork Bookwyrm and adapt the book-centric features to film and TV production and release terms.
