Finally. Using GoodReads is such a frustrating experience, but for the longest time has been the only option for logging books. There's been a big gap in the market for something like this to exist. Really excited to start using it. Letterboxd for books.

@andrewprojdent hey Andrew, thanks for the kind words! Appreciate the support and definitely share your sentiment. This is of course just the start - tons of new features, opportunities down the road. Infinite ideas! @samin100 had this idea for us: “snap a photo of your physical bookshelf and we’ll populate it virtually.” Also a number of cool "AR" implementations around books. Will definitely keep you in the loop :)

I like the idea a lot. I've been having a bunch of conversations around books to read lately. I would love to add my reading list. But of course I can't give a rating before I've read the book.

I just noticed that it works despite the error message. ;-)

Quickly created my profile. Neat and clean to start with. I see a lot of potential features being shared in the comments. I echo the features like shelves, an option to quickly add books from other profiles, better search results with thumbnails, neat layout to display quotes from the book etc. https://bookclub.cool/@binoy

This looks great. Congrats on the launch. I will say that I get frustrated with apps that force me to use social media to login. Maybe I'm old school but I prefer using email for signups.

@britaingreen Hey Britain, thanks for the feedback! 🙏 We started with social due to the simplicity of experience, but will definitely look into email signup options as well.

I'm a big fan of Goodreads as a concept but the product itself is often confusing and frustrating. bookclub has a great potential to offer an alternative. I hope to see the product grow in features while keeping that simple aesthetic and UX, which is what frustrates me most about goodreads. Lots of good suggestions already in the reviews, I'm looking forward to seeing more form you guys!

Pros:

Super clean design and intuitive UX.

Cons:

Not a lot of features for now.

What better way to step up my book game than to publish my bookshelf on the internet for the world to see!

Pros:

Simple way to share books with a very minimal overhead & super clean UX.

Cons:

Absolutely none.

Two quick ideas: (1) A way to organize books into "Read", "Reading", "Read Later" lists. (2) Someone else mentioned custom lists, I think it would be rad to be able to create playlist-style lists you could share (example: "Summer Reads"). Great idea and execution so far!
