I have been working using it for years. Combines two of my favorite things, books and data crunching.🥰

dianaporter.bsky.social•92 days ago

I love it. So much more info. And it was started by a black woman. Would rather support this app than Bezos

bigbeardedbookseller.com•92 days ago

Just starting as a log then as soon as I figure more of it out will use more functions

Love storygraph! Openreads is another good option for people who prefer a more offline solution. Also open source and AI-free if that matters to you, but any movement away from Bezos is good!

Started using it a little more than a year ago and haven't looked back.

I love the pie charts that tell me genres and how many pages I've read. I'm also a big fan of the mid levels for ratings. No more rounding up

linda-elaine.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yes, absolute favorite book app!

jacisloanmn.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just started dipping my toes into it and really liking it.

braddancer.bsky.social•92 days ago

Haven't tried it yet, still use Bookly, love that app

meganseekings.bsky.social•92 days ago

yes! I’ve still got Goodreads as I like seeing what my colleagues (current and past ones) are reading and have a few other people there, not finding the social element so much with Storygraph, but love the data!

noveldeelights.bsky.social•92 days ago

I have. Miss the interaction with other people though. It feels quite lonely.

alitescape.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yes I love the monthly graphics we can generate!

saves me having to use Canva 😁

englishsnob.bsky.social•92 days ago

Been using it for about a year. Nice, simple platform. Kinder than goodreads.

crowvoice.bsky.social•92 days ago

I love that it’s Bezos-free, but with it had author pages.

crowvoice.bsky.social•92 days ago

*wish

crowvoice.bsky.social•92 days ago

I stopped using Goodreads when I found out who owned it, but miss using it to interact with my (handful of) readers.

I'll pledge my loyalty to whatever new book website will let me use the UK covers when recording, as the US ones for some of the books I've read recently have been godawful

There doesn't seem to be an author login like Goodreads - is there?

bigbeardedbookseller.com•92 days ago

No idea sorry

duckprintspress.com•92 days ago

There isn't per se cause the platform is still fairly new. A full author back-end is on their "to do" list but isn't something they have yet.

However, when one runs a giveaway there, they can assign you either an author or publisher role, and they've started talking about expanding what it does.

Thanks 🫶

andykjcragg.co.uk•92 days ago

Brilliant, thank you, I shall keep an eye on it.

StoryGraph rules. I imagine it's going to fuel my reading. I love the graphs and page trackers.

ravenmusings.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yes, have migrated over and did so happily! I'll send over a friend request.

nickrichtsmeier.com•92 days ago

It's transformed my reading life and was the first step in making my reading Bezos FREE.

Storygraph + Kobo + https://Bookshop.org + https://Libro.fm

stephhohhnee.bsky.social•92 days ago

Request sent!

lemmefinishk.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just started cataloging all my books - going to take a while since I quit using Goodreads a few years ago.

zacharyethan.bsky.social•92 days ago

I signed up. You can export your goodreads library so you don't have to manually add or lose your history.

It wouldn't let me transfer from my phone, though. I had to use my PC. Could me an issue with my phone settings.
