I'm a simple boy I see Matt Parker, I hit like
I want to recommend Openreads app as well. FOSS.
This looks good, and I really like the clean look of the app.
I ditched Goodreads about a year ago and am currently using StoryGraph, but I'm interested in a truly FOSS app with no account necessary. It looks as though the .csv export from StoryGraph has different parameters than Openreads and Goodreads, and would need a bit of tinkering to allow the import into Openreads. I see that Openreads explicity allows Goodreads and Bookwyrm import but not StoryGraph.
I don't even know why people use goodreads when the storygraph is so much better.
I use goodreads to read reviews since they are plenty and longer. But I give ratings and track my progress only on StoryGraph.
I heard the social aspect of the storygraph is not very well built out. And maybe not even wanted by the builders?
You're probably right. I don't use these apps for anything other than tracking my own reading. So I haven't compared the social aspect.
Does anyone have a review or thoughts on all these different trackers? I started switching to StoryGraph but new ones keep popping up and I don't want to have to try them all.
(StoryGraph, bookwyrm, hardcover, open reads, library thing, others)
I love Storygraph. It's so polished, with interesting features. It just needs the ability to merge duplicate books.
What about library thing? I think it's also a good alternative to goodread.
I've been using it for a few years now, and I really like it, but it does take some getting used to.
Is it ok to mention Z-Library? I use Z-Library and it works great for me.
How is the cataloguing experience?
Terrible.
So, I get why people are recommending alternative ways of getting books (Amazon is in the title), but this post is about GoodReads, which is book tracker, not a book store.
I've never bought a single book from Amazon. When I had a kindle, they offered Darwin's boom for free and I got it, that's about it.
