Wish I had more time to read! Have loved BookTribes since @onambiguity showed me an early prototype in a coffee shop in SF. HMU if anyone wants to geek out over Thinking, Fast and Slow or Innovator's Dilemma :)
thanks a million david! Yeh, the innovator's dilemma is an especially important book for our current day and age. IMO, even startups struggle with it mightily.
Nice app! I love the concept of discussing quotes on the platform. A lot of times, while reading a book, I don't highlight quotes I want to remember right away and end up forgetting the most meaningful parts.
Great idea - I'm in a slack group that has a book club channel, but this adds so much more color and is much more engaging, especially as the community grows. Good stuff!
Thanks @nireyal for hunting us! We built BookTribes as a way for fellow book nerds to discuss books they love with fellow fans.
We believe that behind every great book is a community of fans who love it, and book tribes are where they can come together and learn from each other.
If you ever found yourself reading a book, and wanting to discuss it with someone, this service is totally built for you!

Echoing everyone else: BookTribes is doing the obvious, only better. I am anxious to see some more biz model innovation from them too. Returning to GoodReads after BT gets fully populated must be avoided!
@kkdub haha, thanks! we have very different metrics from Goodreads. They are primarily about reviews and tracking, we are about discussions and engagement. Hope we will never be like them ;)
Love this concept hoping this might be a smarter way to find recommended books based on my interests, and collect important ideas and concepts from the books I've read.
@dundas yeh, i think that the main value that i am getting out of it is indeed in collecting and discussing the important concepts i have read about before.
