Wow, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. I have such a love-hate relationship with Goodreads but there never seems to be a good alternative....until now.
I love that you also give instructions to import books from goodreads. smort. Looking forward to trying this out!
I'm not sure how I found Oku but I've enjoyed my use of it so far. The beta has been good, reliable software and it's got everything I need. The search could be improved and I'm sure they'll get better at it over time so I'm not too concerned. I'd recommend Oku over Good Reads at this point.

Wow! You guys really did an excellent job with this. I created an account an hour or so ago (https://oku.club/user/ndl) and was so in love with the product I spent 45~ mins exploring it & manually adding some of my books (most are unread, haha). The UI is great. I'm sure this will have exceptional utility — I currently use Bookbuddy and this is much better & obviously it has the community aspect as well.
My only gripe would be the search algorithm. A good amount of books I searched for weren't available (or only available in other languages). An option to recommend books to be added would be great.

Just tried it out, looks super sleek and love it! :) Somehow the Import from Goodreads wasn't working properly for me.

I have absolutely no interest in using Oku, but I gotta say – design and aesthetics are absolutely top notch. Looking great, folks!

this is the only hope for us to save from goodreads:D but needs some imp. for turkish books. esp. books are duplicated. singularization must be done for all books. then books covers should be updated. also for the ux side, you can add some quick add buttons into to read, reading and read pages. keep going, we love oku.
