Hi everyone! I’m a very avid reader and would love to add more reading people to The StoryGraph. The more friends, the more books I may want to read I’ll see!

Feel free to add me: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/amarnareads

      Joined but its a bit shit I can only import from GoodReads.

      Before being so harsh about a platform, I’d say do a bit of research about said platform.

      It was created by two people initially as a side project. The quoted text below is from the first link.

      Who is behind The StoryGraph? It’s run and built by Nadia Odunayo and Rob Frelow. It started life as a personal side project of Nadia’s to create and track progress through reading lists

      And right now it is being developed by three people (founder, co founder and admin/supporter).

      So yeah, of course it’ll be a bit lackluster when it’s 3 people versus a company like Amazon. But despite that, they’re doing a very well job. I’ve been using the site since (I think) 2020 and really like it. They actually listen to their user-base.

        I did do all that research, none of which changes my opinion that its a bit shit that the only way to import your reading collection is via GoodReads.

        To be clear, I’m not saying its a terrible project or even a bad one and I have joined up, I’m simply saying its a bit shit that you can only import from GoodReads. I’m not sure that’s a terribly controversial opinion and its certainly not meant as a slight.
