I really like storygraph. Every year or so I check on their progress for an api. It's on their long term roadmap and I'll be a happy person when it comes to fruition.
Only problem with Storygraph is that it's privately owned, just like Goodreads was. So as soon as Storygraph gets popular enough, it'll just get sold (probably to Amazon) and then you'll have to find another haven and start over once again. At least Bookwyrm is federated, like Lemmy.
How about just read your book and don't blog about it.
These aren't necessarily book blogs. Eg personalized suggestions
I still just keep a paper log in my notebook. It's been working for me since 2013 so no reason to switch now!
Omg I had no idea it was from Amazon too
God dammit
Why is he white now?
If you just want to track what books you've read, like me, I highly recommend Jelu!
I never thought about a reading tracker but immediately went to searching for a selfhosted option when I read this post. Thanks for saving me the time!
Hey so thanks for this. Helped me find some actual good books. All I had to do was put in the things that I actually liked.
You know, it's actually kinda wild how much published stuff caters to only a few average points in society and disregards the rest.
Did you know that some people actually commercially publish omegv novels? I had no idea but it's like christmas!
Do any also track comics? I feel like I have a better chance tracking all ive read in one place pirating them all and placing them there than any of these apps, they are always missing something
You can track pretty much anything on BookWyrm. If it's not already listed in one of the instances' directories, you can add it yourself.
I don't know about the others, but Storygraph does.
ohh thanks, just reminded me to wipe out my good reads account
Does anyone know if there's a way to export your GoodReads data and import it into one of these other services?
Yes there is you can get a csv file with everything, its a bit hidden but storygraph for example has instructions how to do it
Goodreads sucks, it so unstable and slow. However, all ny friends use it and i have never been able to not find a book on there. I tried bollwyrm and my issue with it was lack of solid recommendations to what to read next.
