Some books are just not displayed for me, e.g. https://bookself.app/book/163557.... I'm reading it in Bookself, but I want to enter it, review, and mark it as read. I just see a blank page. This has happened in the past, but is occurring more often now.

@niklaspivic666 Got it, this is not a problem for the mobile app and we will sort it out for the web.

So I’ve been using this app for a while now and I’m so amazed. A book lover like myself often needs inspiration for which book to read next. With Bookself I no longer need to spend time on asking my friends or google for my next book purchase, this app does the work, and I love it!

Love that I'm able to actually discuss my reads and that it's simple, unlike Goodreads that's becoming so messy!

Positives: love the interface, social nature, inclusive of audiobooks To work on: skews heavily on tech / startup book recommendations, search function is gratingly slow especially if i spell one letter incorrectly. some of the about sections are empty (e.g. how to win friends and influence people has no summary) Recommendations: binary reviews (be able to upvote/downvote without writing out a full summary), people should be able to add books too (as i was adding my list, several books i've read this year didn't show up). I want to love this app because I've been looking for somewhere to track my books and find recommendations, but there's a way to go.

@singareddynm Thanks for the feedback! We've targeted non-fiction and business reading in particular to test this out as a starting niche but our goal is to form strong sub-communities around any interest and genre. For recommendations you can use the heart button as upvote/recommend, we will likely not add a thumbs down but there are some tags you can use to express the book was not for you. For search we are working on both performance and catalog, there are surprisingly few sources that work well for this but we are on it. Letting users add books is a good idea!

Ahhh yes thank YOU. Every single time I open up GoodReads I'm met with utter frustration and annoyance. An app with such potential... gone to waste bc of a poor user-interface and and lack of product innovation. Finally we've got someone offering up their alternative - and it looks pretty damn legit. Downloading now, can't wait to dig around.

@rubenvivanti Thanks Ruben! There's an importer for books available, we're currently looking into importing reviews and hope to launch that next week.
