I'd never heard of The StoryGraph until seeing this article. I'm not much of a Goodreads user so I don't know if I'll dive right into using The StoryGraph, but I'm happy to know it's out there.

Hey, I use StoryGraph with @snowdrops for tracking books we read for our book club! :D I haven't dived into its features that deeply, but so far I've liked it!

Ohhh, that's awesome. I always thought it was a lil "creepy" (in that techbroligarchy sense) that Goodreads, such a popular book website, was owned by a billion dollar corporation. I hope StoryGraph continues to grow and weakens strengths of the consolidated billionaire tech sphere.

I found it precisely because I was looking for alternatives to Goodreads, haha. I'm glad it's taking off!

I really like the StoryGraph. I was also looking for an Amazon-free alternative to Goodreads.
I still use Goodreads a bit more because I use it mostly to read reviews and Goodreads has more review activity, but I’m really glad to hear that the StoryGraph is taking off.

Excellent article, and nice to know there is an alternative for reviews/book readers. I refuse to support any of the broligarchs, unless there is no alternative, and I cannot do without the good or service.
