I really love this concept and I'm excited to see if they add integrations for Audible and Libby soon!

@nolan_makatche This is something on my personal wish list. There are two features I dream of having: 1. Show availability of books in my local library (audio, physical & ebooks w/the ability to set what you'd want. 2. Automatically manage requesting books from my library for me for books with long waits. This would be tricky, but I love the idea that I always have the "next book" I want to read available after I finish my current book - but without needing to micromanage schedules. Is there an Audible or Libby feature you'd like to see?

Awesome concept! I just added Pachinko By Min Jin Lee as a book I'm currently reading. Really love your support for authors. F'ck Amazon and viva indi book stores.

Congrats on the launch! Will be giving it a try as I’ve been interested in finding an alternative to Goodreads for a while now.

First impressions are great! I noticed some issues. Mainly that: 1. when I search for a book, the search results include a lot of duplicates, and it doesn't seem like the different additions of the same book, but rather separate books when they're not. 2. when I add a review, I get a toast message on the top right saying that my review was posted, but it still keeps me on the edit screen. When I manually go to the reviews of that book, my review is often nowhere to be seen (even though the review count has increased to include mine). 3. The reading goal doesn't seem to work. I made an account just now and said it go for 12 books this year. I added four books that I already read earlier this year and now, in my profile, it says “Goal 0/12 books / 0% / You're 9 books behind schedule." The math ain’t mathing here. I like that if a book is missing a cover, you can upload one yourself. Honestly, I would have liked more of a focus on, you know, books in user profiles. It's like all the books are cramped in a tiny section with tabs and I don't understand why. It seems quite well made though, so I remain hopeful that I'm gonna love it in the future. Until then, I think I'll keep tracking the books. I've read on my personal website. My profile: https://hardcover.app/@an
