Question for #Bookstodon ....

I'm looking to migrate away from Goodreads (luckily I didn't get too far into using it).

Hoping for something very open/non-corporate.

Thoughts on #Bookwyrm vs #Openlibrary ?

Bookwyrm seems to be missing a lot of books. And the work to add them seems a waste when I can go upstream to OpenLibrary. OL lacks the social features but Bookwyrm seems very uh... basic & kinda ugly. 🤔

@jenniferplusplus @farah I'm seeing a lot of recs for StoryGraph. My concern is that without a commitment to openness, indie software easily becomes corporate software & we just have another Goodreads.

But I don't know much about them, I'll have a look!

@jenniferplusplus @farah Ok ok ok... I created an account and imported some books and played around a bit, and StoryGraph is VERY nice. :)
