Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for alternatives on Reddit; maybe worth pointing to BookWyrm and NeoDB? (redlib.catsarch.com)

Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.

I don’t think Bookwyrm has an API, so it’s impossible to integrate it into anything.

Maybe the protocol itself could be used as the API? Set up a local instance, similar to what Holos does, and pulls data only from instances reporting to be powered by BookWyrm (or NeoDB).
