What’s next
Work that is agreed but not built, across the three catalogues and the front door itself. Each item says how far it reaches: one shelf, a few, all of them, or this site.
The board
-
One search across all three shelves
“Do we own this in any format?” answered once, instead of three times. Needs a public, read-only projection out of each catalogue and a search box on the front door.
-
One sign-in and one set of roles everywhere
Books and board games already share the same accounts and the same owner / manager / reader / waiting-list roles. The audiobook catalogue is the one left to bring across.
-
Keep the two scanning catalogues in step
Books borrowed its scan queue, its barcode lookup and its arrival flow from board games. Fixes found on one side should travel to the other rather than quietly forking.
-
Match books to their audiobooks
A book and its audiobook are the same story on two shelves, and only some of them are joined up so far. Long series with many volumes are the group worth chasing first.
-
Mark a preordered book as arrived
Preorders and crowdfunding pledges sit in the catalogue as promises. There is no way yet to say “this one is on the shelf now”, which is the single transition most of them are waiting on.
-
An ebooks view of the library
Print and ebook live in one catalogue on purpose. What is missing is the filter that shows just one of them — a link you can bookmark or pin to a home screen.
-
Twelve books still have no cover
Every automatic source has been tried and come back empty for these. Filling them needs a genuinely different source, not another pass over the same ones.
-
Five pledged books need creating by hand
A campaign’s spelling of a title is exactly what mints a duplicate, so the importer deliberately never invents a book. These five have to exist first, then their pledges attach themselves.
-
Check the series pages on a real phone
The series list, the format chips and the newer panels have been built and read on a desktop. None of them has been looked at on a 390px screen, which is where they will actually be used.
-
Fill in what is missing from each box
“Which pieces am I short?” has no data behind it yet. A weekly job will fill it unattended; doing it by hand is only worth it to get the shopping list sooner.
-
Count the Dice Throne playmats
Eleven are confirmed bought, twenty-one provably were not, and twenty-two came through a channel no pledge record can speak to. A physical count is the only thing that settles it.
-
Name the HELLDIVERS 2 mystery box
A deliberate placeholder for content the campaign has not revealed. Rename it from whatever is actually in the box when it turns up.
-
Reading schedules for book clubs
Checkpoints with target dates, and an on-track or behind chip against them. The milestones already exist; what they lack is a calendar.
-
Announce club events to Discord
Comments already post through. Starting a book, finishing one and a new leader on the to-be-read list do not.
-
Polls inside a club
Free-form questions a club can vote on, taggable to a chapter so they sit behind the same spoiler shield as everything else.
-
Pick one name for the front door
Both
heygabi.aiandwww.heygabi.aiserve this page today. One of them should redirect to the other; the recommendation is the bare name, because every catalogue is a subdomain of it. -
Decide whether
ebooks.heygabi.aishould existOnly ever as a redirect into the library’s ebook view — never as a second app. It is free and reversible, and it is also one more name to remember.
