Are these all the areas where you think goodreads needs work?
If so, can't you keep track of the books people recommend by simply looking at their ratings?
I would like to see:
- Ability to have reviews be "friends-only". My reviews are generally just notes to myself, and I spend about 30 seconds writing them. I don't like that they end up in the general pool of reviews.
- Faster website! It's crazy how slow the website is. I usually view the desktop version on mobile. I suspect it's intentionally nerfed in order to drive people to the app.
Overall, goodreads is valuable to me because it helps me: see all the books that authors have written; find new books to read via seeing what my friends read; keep a list of books that I'm going to read in the future; see a list of books I've read; and learn when an author I've read has something new. Stack seems to just be a place to keep track of what I've read (but I haven't created an account, so I may be missing features).
- honkycat 7y agoEh most people don't have a Goodreads. Like, a "Goodreads" official list of Elon musk / Steve jobs / Obama recommended books so I don't have to sort through the chaff. Or a "Goodreads presents: John Carmaks favorite computer programming books." Basically an employee or moderator builds the list, or they explicitly work with someone like John Carmack to make a "Goodreads official" list
