All of you who are building ”alternatives to goodreads”!
Please keep in mind that
- not all #books are published in english and
- there are translations of books and
- people may read several different language versions of the same book, even at the same time.
Brought to you by a #goodreads user who can't mark two different language versions of a book as being ”currently reading” simultaneously.
@jellal Federated are at least BookWyrm by @mouse and @Readlebee, neither of which is yet in production use, if I'm correct.
There are also some closed alternatives, the names of which I don't remember at the moment, as they are not as interesting as federating ones, regardless of how progressive the people making them are.
@Stoori thanks!!!
@Readlebee That sounds good!! I'll check it out!!
@nihl @romainelaprophetesse of course there are lots of books that don't have ISBN, mainly older books. So one shouldn't rely on that method only.
@Stoori What advantages does Goodreads have over, say, setting up your own card catalogue with Shaarli or something?
@drwho social interactions etc.
@Stoori People are making alternatives to goodreads??? Where can I find those? 👀
