Notes
The traditions connected with this week:
Since we did not have the time to go over everything we did last week for most people, I suggest we all write in the eatherpad what we did, and we can discuss the ones that are of interest to somebody else?
- I have added the filtering to my books page - since I already collect some metadata for my own purpose it made sense to just allow for filtering: https://sarajaksa.eu/books
- I have changed the filtering for my movie project from JavaScript to CSS and added James as another participant: https://sarajaksa.eu/projects/indieweb-movies/posters.html
- Finished the entries for this month carnivals: for IndieWebhttps://sarajaksa.eu/2024/02/indieweb-carnival-february-2024-the-technology-mediated-relationships/ and Aro https://sarajaksa.eu/2024/02/the-carnival-of-aros-february-2024-personal-understanding-of-romance-and-marriage-in-slovenia/ (if somebody have some thoughs about the Romance in their own culture, please participate in the later as well)

POSSE or PESOS to GoodReads?
- API access was dropped in 2020 (https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/Does-Goodreads-support-the-use-of-APIs) to "to continually improve our data management"
- The Goodreads still provides the RSS feeds of the updates and added/finished books
