As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

The Storygraph is a fantastic goodreads alternative with way more stats and helpful info on your reading habits. It’ll import your goodreads history too!

Been using this and it's great! I especially like that I can put in half and quarter stars for my ratings. Only downside might be the UI which can feel a bit off.

I've been really enjoying Storygraph as well! I really like that the reviews give you some criteria/prompts. I tend to read a lot of books and sometimes they are similar enough that I don't quite remember which book was which. I rarely write actual reviews beyond a star rating so having some low effort dropdowns to help differentiate them has been so great! I am excited to see where it goes as it gets more users.

Cool! They advertise their "machine learning AI" recommendations system, do you have any experience with the quality of its recommendations?

I don't use it very often but have yet to be disappointed by it (in English only, though).
