Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books
It’s got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENS...
I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities!
Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).

Setting up a server for a github clone?
So my class is a two semester thing where we are assisting a sponsor in creating a prototype of a item or feature, this is our sponser that we are adding a feature to btw. We have our own fork of it and I made my own copy on my computer (using git clone URL) as this will be a learning experience. I don't have the server set up for me to do debugging/runs and I am not sure how to set up the server to do test runs.

Jelu : self hosted book tracker update
I contacted the bookwyrm dev a while ago to ask an API, we'll see where it leads us (https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785)

Mastodon – A Federated Twitter Alternative
Beware that Bookwyrm is distributed under the "Anticapitalist software license" [1] so you must be very veyr very careful before using it. It may be actually impossible to legally deploy it for a lot of people.

Jelu : book tracker/database (selhosted goodreads alternative)
Yes, the most obvious choice would be BookWyrm. I thought it would be nice to automatically publish read events or things like this on BookWyrm, but the API does not seem to be very stable or even clear : I found this link https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785 Apparently BookWyrm has to tweak the ActivityPub format to fit book model, so I'll wait for this to be clearer. Thanks for your interest anyway.

There's a new welcome page for Bookwyrm, the GoodReads alternative on the Fediverse
I believe they're referring to the fact the license (Anti-Capitalist Software License) is not considered to be open source

I cant stand Goodreads anymore, anyone else feeling this way
I host an instance of BookWyrm for myself and a few friends. It's been a good way to track current reading and things that I want to read. https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm

Unique Character Count
I'm not quite sure if it counts as easy, but this tool here (https://github.com/Destaq/chinese-comprehension) works really well if you're comfortable with a bit of playing around with things on your computer (I found the instructions reasonably clear, but I've done a bit of coding before). This works really well for files, and I use it to estimate the number of unique characters/word in a book as well as the total character count.

A guide and 5 defenses against Chinese reading fatigue
Not sure what an extensive text looks like? This Hacking Chinese post answers that well. As for finding such texts: you can estimate the difficulty of some text with this tool I made (technical but allows personalized difficulty) or this online one (accessible to non-coders but you’ll have to estimate difficulty off of the general stats for a text). A list of novels graded by difficulty (with more than just various editions of 《三体》and 《活着》, hold in your astonishment) can be found on Heavenly Path here.

How to restart learning Chinese (after taking a long break) & build a successful studying routine
this script by reddit user 'LAcuber', will process a document and give you an approximate count of unique words/characters, breakdown by HSK level, and if you also feed it a list of your known vocab, it will tell you what portion of the text might be unknown to you. After you consume a text, you can run the script again, and tell it to add all previously new words to your known vocab list.

HSK 5 in 15 months - all the tools, tips, and techniques I've learned in one guide
A lot of learners use Chinese Text Analyzer, a paid (~$20 USD) piece of software that will scan some text and spit out % known words, number of chars/words, most common unknown words, HSK distribution etc. I tried the 14-day free trial, and while useful, its price tag kept me off. So, I developed a free tool with a server member called chinese-comprehension that does the exact same thing, albeit shown on as words not as graphics. While you will need to have Python installed, this is fairly straightforward.
