📚 I have a few invites for Literal to give away (literal.club). It's a site which aims/promises to be a #Goodreads alternative that isn't terrible. #books

First come, first serve!

@ohBananaJoe Depends on your POV. I see a lot of potential plus lots of stagnation, in a site that has waaaaay too much going on at any time, visually. Personally, I think it's terrible, but I also know that there are many people who just like it the way it is. Nothing wrong with either. "Live and let live" and all that. 🖖🏼

@czottmann how is Goodreads terrible? I’ve heard tat complaint many times before but I still don’t understand the dissatisfaction aside from being owned by Amazon.

@axel Sorry, nope, I only had 3 of them and they're all gone. Maybe @MicroDenbow can help — do you have an invite left, maybe?

@josephaleo I find it terribly cluttered. The book detail pages especially are a mess, IMHO. I suppose it depends on what you want to get out of GR; personally, I'd like to track my reading but I find GR overwhelming as it tends to bombard me with everything about and related to the book in question (editions, series, readers, comments, reviews, quotes, trivia etc.).

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@czottmann yeah, I’m usually blind to those functions and only see them when I’m actively looking for them. Otherwise, I use GoodReads to log my books. There’s nothing wrong with similar services, but h there’s nothing they offer that gets me excited or feels like they provide a superior experience to GoodReads.
