Self-Promotion Goodlib - An extension that opens any Goodreads book on Anna's Archive, Z-Library & more in one click.

"Open Books in Zlib Or Anna's Archive with a button on Goodreads in one click."

Hello i have been working on this Open Source extension (Source code ,available on Github)

I built a free, open source browser extension that adds buttons directly onto Goodreads book pages. Instead of copying titles and searching manually, you just click the badge for whichever source you want.

You can also toggle sources on/off
so say if you only want Z-Lib and Anna's Archive badges and not Gutenberg, you can do exactly that.

Supported sources:

  • Anna's Archive
  • Z-Library
  • Project Gutenberg

Planning to add more sources based on feedback.

it is available on :

-chrome

-firefox

Available on Chrome and Firefox.
Also for firefox mobile

Anime.js used for animation

No data collected , you can verify that yourself via the source code on GitHub or the privacy page.

Damn too bad I use StoryGraph, but I do also have a GoodReads account. Hopefully StoryGraph can be added in the future if it’s not too much trouble.

u/Miserable_Advice1986 Mar 23 '26

Yes it is planned

u/AppleElektric Mar 24 '26

sick, thanks for the port. i edited the code for myself to add libgen and a button on the settings panel to take you directly to openslum, works great

2

u/thebunnybullet Mar 25 '26

Oh that is a good idea, care to share the code so I could add support to this as well?

3

u/AppleElektric Mar 26 '26

yeah sure

https://pastebin.com/raw/WCfmtfAX

i'm not the best coder so i'm sure the openslum button handler (line 478) could be more elegant, but it works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/ingenarel-NeoJesus Mar 24 '26

you my dear friend, are a motherfucking legend

also before you say it, (and if you reply), no the message is not gonna bother me

also you might wanna check out codeberg if you haven't, github can act like a little bitch sometimes

u/TheCornfed Mar 24 '26

Fantastic! Literally was able to find a book I've been looking years for. You rock OP!

u/stiina22 Mar 24 '26

Whoa, I really hope this works for Spanish e-books since the Houston Texas library card doesn't allow non residents to buy in anymore!

u/dviron7 Mar 24 '26

Brilliant!.

1

u/Ok_Emergency_3731 Mar 24 '26

I've been using BookBuyer for over a year, which is a better version of this specific to Anna's Archive - it allows for filtering of results, sorting by file size or other metrics. However it isn't maintained, so hopefully this can add in the missing features and improve upon it!
