Melvil

The Command-line Book Management Tool

Melvil is a command line tool for managing books and booklists.

Install with pip install booklist-melvil

Dependencies:

• python
• typer
• thefuzz

Features:

Melvil stores your books in a JSON file. Each book contains information about:

• A title
• An author
• A series of tags that describe its genre
• A state of being read
• A priority (Position in the list)

There are many features that make your life easier:

• Smooth command line interaction with Typer and Inquirer
• Fuzzy searching for book titles for nearly all commands, so you don't have to type the whole title every time. Don't remember a title name? No problem, fuzzy search by tag is available, too.
• Flags for more common commands allow the user to define how much info they want Melvil to track.

• init makes a new book list
• add adds a new book
• remove gets rid of a book
• list prints out all the books from greatest to least priority
• skim lists the attributes of a book
• untag removes the target tag from the given book
