Discover, collect and discuss your favourite books. Follow friends, like-minded people, experts and authors. Share your thoughts: comment or join live chat channels to discuss with other readers. Read and listen to free audiobooks and ebooks.
As almost everything about Goodreads is broken, readers do not have a great community to discover, recommend and discuss books while authors lack a good channel to interact with their readers.
Readers hack other social platforms like #bookstagram-ers do on IG, #booktube-rs do on YouTube or move the discussion to Reddit. But these platforms are not built for books.
This is why we built Bookself.app. Currently we are a drop in replacement for Goodreads and over the coming months we are launching premium audiobook and ebook content to the app with a new, more flexible pricing model for digital books.
In the meantime, join the book club and let us know all your feedback!
@airjoshb Sorry about that, it should work now. Might need to login incognito or clear cache. If still no, DM me your goodreads profile link and we will do it manually :P
@airjoshb@miles_scherrer Is there a fix coming for the Goodreads import? In Bookself I have 289 books after having run the Goodreads import, but in Goodreads, I have 1348 books.
@airjoshb@niklaspivic666 Hmm we did fix it and also added import of book reviews, let me know your goodreads user link in DM and we will find the issue.
@airjoshb@miles_scherrer I've responded, Miles! Now I've got 857 books in Bookself, and more can't be added (when I've tried the import process twice).
Sweet to see there's a way to import books from Goodreads! Will there be a dark mode for the app?
One of my pet peeves about Goodreads is the inability to order books when browsing a to-read shelf. Is this available in Bookself?
Thanks for the app so far!
@miles_scherrer it seems the Goodreads import throws me to https://bookself.app/undefined and the main window just says "Stacking books..."
Is it OK or is this a bug? Would be great to see a progress indicator.
@niklaspivic666 Thanks for great feedback! Yes we aim to expand the dark mode to the full app, currently it is only available while reading ebooks. As we launch premium audiobooks and ebooks, this should be in place.
You can actually rearrange by Trello-style drag drop on our web app. We aim to extend the drag drop sorting to mobile and add some other sorting options too, just trickier to implement!
@miles_scherrer is there a way to refresh a page? I am checking out my profile in the app (Android) and there's no way to do it, it seems. I've added a book to my reading page via the web but it's not viewable via the app.
