A few days ago someone on the reddit sub posted a link to literal.club - however, I can't for the life of me get my goodreads shelves into it - I tried many times. In a last ditch effort, I created an account on thestorygraph.com to see if I could transform my goodreads CSV-export to a format that literal.club would read.

I did, but the import seems to have failed.

This led me to investigate thestorygraph.com and found out that it was created by a sole developer-girl based in London to be a "free" goodreads-alternative.

It has a paid tier (40€/year) but not sure what it ads.

I then added a few books on literal.club to see how that worked, and I must say that I like the info on thestorygraph.com better.

I hope this is of use to you! :)

Why the hell wouldn't you use the fedivers option??? Bookwyrm is great and works great, needs great users, sign up

Or !bookwyrm@lemmy.world or !neodb@lemmy.zip.

I’ve been using this for maybe two months? I like it better than GR. The only thing I wish it had were my notes/highlights from my kindle reading. Even without that it’s a much better experience than GR.

Cool - Do you use the paid tier or the free one? I haven't really researched what paying gets me. Also, the site seems a little sluggish - could use a faster server ;P

Oh yeah? I’ve definitely noticed how slow GR is. Maybe I’m more willing to cut the little guy some slack on that front. I don’t use the paid tier since none of the features appeal to me. Though I have been thinking of getting it just to support them.
