    Specifically for his private social media that’s a benefit for his paid subscribers. 5 or 6 days of a few hours a day, with Claude.

    If you want a non-corporate alternative to Goodreads, there&#x27;s a Fediverse one, BookWyrm: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bookwyrm.social&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bookwyrm.social&#x2F;</a><p>(I don&#x27;t know how many people are using BookWyrm, but Goodreads itself seems half-abandoned. Maybe most of the publisher attention is on TikTok influencing now?)

      Thanks, this is neat. Goodreads seems to be get so little development attention these days that it&#x27;s a miracle it still runs.<p>Interesting choice by BookWyrm to hide review ratings by default. I like it — I always felt that on Goodreads literature that&#x27;s a little more challenging to tackle is reviewed very unfairly compared to easy-to-digest-but-content-light popular books or pulp fantasy. Making the default to have users read the contents of a review instead of glancing at an aggregate number seems like the right answer.

      This looks rad and very user drivrn.<p>I&#x27;ve been tracking with bibliocommons through my local library, but it has it&#x27;s flaws. I can add books that any bibliocommons library has indexed, but there&#x27;s no convenient way to search outside my library.

    If it&#x27;s only for tracking books you really liked, it&#x27;s not a Good Reads replacement.

      Someone might have said similar about (Systrom&#x27;s version of) Instagram: if it&#x27;s only for photos, it&#x27;s not a Facebook replacement.

    Doesnt seem to overlap with good reads at all?<p>I find goodreads sucks at book recommendations, but excluding the books that some random twitter replacement didnt read doesnt seem like its going to make it good at book recommendations either.<p>Goodreads however remains fun for keeping me accountable with my reading goals, and nothing else has replaced that.<p>DCC - Yeah this isnt great. Yeah the litrpg genre was infested from the beginning with 20booksto50K people, and then LLM people.
