Hello! I am currently making a reading tracking website (a la Goodreads, StoryGraph, and LibraryThing) as a personal project and have hit a bit of a wall, so I’ve come to the internet for ideas.

What do y’all like about your tracking service of choice. What features do you think are cool or important? Are there any things that your service doesn’t do that you wish it did?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

    I like Bookwyrm. Pretty much the only thing I’d change about it is that only one other person I know uses it.

    It’s probably not the feedback you’re looking for, but I’d rather not have another platform for it, unless there’s a really compelling reason, or you have a plan to move people off Goodreads en masse.

      Thank you for your perspective!

      Definitely a reasonable critique but honestly I don’t plan to ever release it to the public, it’s really just for me.

      Same here. I love the social aspect of it, privacy respecting, etc. Wish it had an app and was easier for people to get into
