As a non-Goodreads user, can you help me understand what Goodreads does poorly and what your website does correctly?

  It didn’t have a negative article written about it last week.

    As other comments point out, it doesn’t mean this new demo site addressed those issues

  Hey zapstar. Personally I just wanted a simple site where I could record my reads and make curated lists of books. Goodreads offers some version of both but in my opinion the site has waaay too many features/buttons/sections and is too complicated/too much. I guess that's why I see it as an anti-goodreads

    I'd love to be able to add user defined tags to a book I have added. A nice simple feature that lets your users do all sorts of more complicated things if they want. I would use it to track if I have specific books in audio, digital, and/or paper format.

      That's a great idea! Do you see these as being strictly private and personal or would you consider having public tags?
      • shkkmo 7y ago
        I would only need it as personal but wouldn't mind if it were public. Depends how much complexity you want to add.

        If you do add public tags, they should be limited to a predefined set. Probably with a 'request new tag' button somewhere.
