  • I have, and use Calibre with LL instead and it still requires a lot of hand holding and manual grooming to get a clean library.

    My big issue with Readarr is that it had a hard time fetching data for various popular and/or prolific authors. So if I wanted to fetch all the books for a particular author, there was a high likelihood it wouldn’t actually fetch the necessary book data to do so.

    I prefer LazyLibrarian over Readarr but it still leaves a lot to be desired for end-user usability. One of the big issues with ebooks is that data is a mess, with each book having a billion different editions with spotty metadata support that makes it hard to tell what is what.

    Goodreads seems like it was a decent source of data for these types of projects but they shut off new API access a couple years ago and legacy access can go away at any moment. Hardcover seems like a promising API alternative but not sure if anyone has started integrating with them yet. Manga and comics seem to be in a better state, with a more rabid fanbase maintaining data but still nowhere near what’s available for movies and tv.

    Vast majority of fish and other seafood is flash frozen on the boat, as it’s a significant food safety issue to do otherwise. What you typically buy as “fresh” fish has been thawed in store.

    Only real way to get real fresh, never frozen, fish is to catch it yourself, or know someone who does, or see it actually alive in a tank (in which case flavor majorly suffers due to stress of the animal).
