My issue is that they don’t have good recommendations. And they shut down their api and don’t share their data with users who want to calculate their own recommendations.
Their UI is fine. Their ratings are as good as any other ratings.
I would hate a “modern” Goodreads and am glad Amazon bought it and abandoned it rather than Meta who tried to make book readers live stream their reading or whatever stupid stuff they’d try.
- esperent 3y agoThere's other places to get recommendations. This site has had some great book recommendation threads. Then there's lots of great threads on various subreddits.
- jsbisviewtiful 3y agoSure, there are other places to get recommendations - but what is the point of Goodreads, my collected reading library and my ratings if I can't get recommendations from the site?
- Llamamoe 3y agoCan you recommend said places to get recommendations?
- NegativeLatency 3y agoMost of my friends switched to StoryGraph and it’s been quite good
- jbaber 3y agoI second this. The recommendations have shown me books I'd never come across otherwise.
