Asymptome

CLI tracker to prioritize your limited time by ELO ranking media.

Initial Ideas

• Mark books read/unread/in-progress.
• Show top 10 / bottom 10. Show only in-progress or unread.
• Rank only in-progress or unread.
• Track books by title, author, and series. Default is to recognize "by" or "(series)" and automatically sort into relevant fields.
  • But also almost nothing is actually needed.
• Store progress as a numerical value? (Unread = 0, read = 1, in-progress in-between? Too easy to forget how it works?)
• Store pages as an option,
  • allow a weighted priority based on remaining percentage or whatever.
• Store items as an array instead of object, because that makes the JSON output more consistent -> smaller JSON commit differences.

data structure of an item

{
  title = "Title",
  author = "Author",
  series = "Series",
  pages = 100,
  priority = 0,
  progress = 0.5,
}

• title, author, series, and pages are optional.
• At least one of title, author, or series must be defined.
• priority is the ELO ranking, initializing to 0.
• progress represents read/unread/in-progress status. 0 is unread, 1 is read, and anything in-between in a percentage of progress.

the name

A combination of asymptote - because you will die before you finish your reading list, always getting closer but never arriving - and tome.
