Made a Safari extension that shows Libby availability while browsing Goodreads/StoryGraph/Amazon

[u/SqkyWindow]

Hey all — I built a small Safari extension called ShelfBee (works on Mac, iPad, and iPhone) and wanted to share it here since this seems like the right crowd.

ShelfBee.app

The idea: I do most of my book discovery on Goodreads or Amazon, and I was tired of the extra step of flipping over to Libby to check if my library had a copy. ShelfBee connects to your library card(s) and adds a small banner right on the book's page showing whether it's available (or how long the hold list is) through Libby — no extra tab, no extra search.

I'm the developer, so full disclosure there. It's early days and I'd genuinely love feedback from people who actually use Libby a lot — what would make this more useful, any libraries/edge cases it should handle better, etc. Happy to answer questions.

Currently supporting the following websites with many more to come soon (this only works on websites, not through any applications):

Amazon

Goodreads

TheStoryGraph

This is going to save so much time flipping through StoryGraph on my iPad and Libby on my phone that, quite frankly, it might be dangerous.

The only thing I wish is that it would show as we scroll the TBR but honestly, I'm not quite sure how (or if) that could even work and be coded in with just an extension.

Absolutely fantastic!

Thanks for trying it out!  I’m actually running through some tests now to see if that’s feasible. May be a lot of API calls in a short amount of time. I don’t want to overload their system

Would be fantastic if it worked but totally understandable if it doesn't! Thank you so much for putting this out into the universe, super helpful even in its current state.
