Help me understand what the hell I'm doing in Docker?
I know nothing about Linux, Docker, or Perl, and am only minimally confident at the command line, but I really wanted to play around with this Goodreads toolbox. Unfortunately it has minimal documentation and is no longer supported by the author, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? I actually got Docker installed, successfully ran the toolbox in a container, connected to Goodreads and ran one of the Perl scripts which successfully generated two HTML output files. However, here I am at the finish line and I have no idea how to actually find or open these files.

Is there a way to see the books that are popular among your friends?
Don't know about the mobile app, but the desktop website does not offer this feature. There's just https://www.goodreads.com/book/friend_reading ("Books My Friends Are Reading" at the moment). If you have Linux/Linux-friend/Docker or perhaps Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you could try a separate tool made for finding Goodreads books popular among your friends: https://github.com/andre-st/goodreads-toolbox/blob/master/help/friendrated.md

what are some features you wish goodreads had?
At that time I had developed prototypes for these features for Linux users. For those interested in the (archived) forum posts, dates and links can be found at the top of each program's help pages at https://github.com/andre-st/goodreads-toolbox

Goodreads book reviews dataset - 10 million books, 6 million reviews
Just thought I'd share this Goodreads dataset here. It took me quite a lot of internet sleuthing to find an interesting and sufficiently large dataset to practice machine learning.
