so this isn’t goodreads, but i got on thestorygraph which is basically a goodreads alternative, independently owned, the pitch is they focus a lot more on readership, recommendations, your reader profile (stats etc) and community (reviews, challenges). the business model is a paid pro account similar to letterboxd.
it seems a lot lot better tbh? altho still some basic UI stuff I would like to see fixed
