Thanks! I am going to start using a fork of your exact process!

Hope you don't mind!

Not at all! Glad to see you like it!

you may be interested, I created this file hosted by github here https://read.jamesst.one/save

so I can use your bookmarklet with no server
ie just setting:

const requestURL = "https://read.jamesst.one/save ";

with my PAT

That's pretty neat!

You'll also probably want to change this email address: https://github.com/jamesmstone/readingList/blob/c5b7f2f3a2f5a59923bd995a5991e436948c845e/.github/workflows/append.yml#L32

ahh good catch - thanks

Hey ! Thanks a lot to both of you for sharing !
I did build on both your codes, and added the possibility to add a rating to a reading, which I use through a folder of bookmarklets

Code is here for those interested : https://github.com/ycouble/readingList

That's a super cool extension to it, thanks for sharing!

the power of open source! 💪
