Well, okay, I joined #BookWyrm. I am not excited about it so far, though, and I guess it's mostly just because the first thing I want to do is enter a whole bunch of books I've read, but it seems to insist that I GIVE IT THE DATE THAT I FINISHED for every book.
I don't remember! Why should I have to remember? Or alternately why should I have to lie?
@ceoln
There are actually a few instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/
@ceoln @obi if I navigate to a book page, then click the drop down for lists to add it to (default says "want to read"), then select "read" to mark to as already read, there is a started and finished reading date field with finished defaulting to today. But you can delete that and still click post/submit.
@ceoln @obi lol, bookwyrm. I'm on an Android phone right now, but following that method above, then clicking the finished date brought up a date picker, the date picker had a "clear" option, that worked for me.
Maybe it's a browser difference, it maybe you're getting to a similar but different dialog. I like bookwyrm quite a bit, but there are a few different ways to accomplish the same thing sometimes, and they don't all feel the same unfortunately.
@obi
Yeah, the server (is bookwyrm.social the only one?) seems pretty slow today too.
I think by default, or at most with a single click, you can register a book as read in GoodReads without a "Finished" date.
If not, I apologize to #Bookwyrm. :)
