There is. https://hardcover.app https://hardcover.app
I used Letterboxd a lot before kids. I used Goodreads until the Trump inauguration when I de-Amazon'd myself as much as possible (Amazon owns Goodreads). I switched to Hardcover, which is a much better interface. There are ways to improve, but overall I prefer it over Goodreads.
- ncfausti 8mo agoWhat would you like to see improved?
- lccerina 8mo agonot OP, but sometimes I add the ebook version to my library even if I never use them. To find it again and fix it, sometimes I need to scroll through the years of read books to spot the tiny icon that distinguishes the version of the book. It would be nice to have a simple filter by book type (physical/ebook/audio) in the library page.
- KPGv2 8mo agoactually the #1 criticism i had has been fixed since the last time i made reading progress: one-click progress updates from Home. I launched the app on my phone and bam, it's right there! I'm not sure there is anything I'd improve. I recall when I started creating a list of Akutagawa Prize winners in translation, it was a bit painful because I had to input a lot of ISBNs for rarer books. Also I struggled for a couple books with picking the right version so the page count was correct. But I haven't done either of those in a while since I haven't read more rare stuff in a year. Possibly they've gotten better, too.
