For the past year, I am reading the books discussed in Literal club. I am very happy it’s finally open to all users. All the best! 🔥🔥🔥

I've been using Literal for a few months as a beta user. Such a good alternative to Goodreads is long overdue. I am especially happy that the team quickly responded to my feature request and introduced an embeddable bookshelf widget. Congrats on the official launch!

@billykwokhk Thank you for the support! PS: The dev team is very excited whenever our users use the widget :)

@mariia_onyshchenko welcome to the club! I hope you'll enjoy. My tip for getting the most out of Literal is to follow a few people and join some interesting clubs. Everything gets much better afterwards ! :)

I love the idea of book clubs and being able to connect with other readers around the world! Congratulations on the launch!

@shatakshi_asthana thank you! We want Literal to foster spaces where our readers can connect around the topics that they really care about. No matter how niche the topic, there's a space for everyone on Literal.

This looks really cool. I am a Goodreads user and would consider switching. I agree with the comments below that Goodreads probably hasn't been updated or added new features in a while... but do you have a quick resource where I can see the benefits of Literal vs. Goodreads?

@jenny_hagan we have this quick overview of our top features: https://literal.club/pages/meet-... We hope to see you on Literal!

Excited to give Literal a go. I never got into Goodreads. Even after the more recent facelifts, it still looks outdated and needlessly complicated. Literal, design-wise, appears perfect. And you even have an embeddable website widget?! What am I gonna do with my own now? 🤨

was really nice application and I am afraid to say that I prefer to have some voice room to talk about the books and it will more exciting i guess.

This is amazing! Congrats on the launch. Out of curiosity - how do you make money to fund the app? Doesn't seem like there's any pricing on the website.

@bwish55 thanks a lot! The app is - and always will be - completely free. We are planning to slowly roll out book sales. The goal here is not just to make money, but support creators, authors and book stores. We will roll this out step by step on a national level. You will be able to buy the books directly through Literal while we’re splitting the revenue with the person/creator/store that the book was discovered through :)
