Ok so I donât know much about Product Hunt, but I made an account just so I could leave this supportive review!
Iâve tried a lot of Goodreads alternatives and havenât been into them. Mostly because they seem to have only a few gimmicky (imo) features that donât long-term add any value to the reading app experience, so I always end up back on Goodreads anyway. BUT Iâve been using Hardcover for about two weeks now and I finally feel like thereâs an app that has the potential to be a viable â and improved! â version of Goodreads.
Interface and branding are excellent. It seems like they may be working out some kinks in the functionality (for me, many books are not displaying the correct covers and some seem to be displaying as another unrelated book), but I feel good about their ability to tidy this up. The app is already promising, but I love that they have the planned/in-process/proposed features displayed and available for suggestion. I think that especially when some of these new features are up and running, this app will be pretty much all I could ever want in a book tracking app! Excited to see what their plans for collaborating with authors/publishers entail.
Good luck guys!
