Hardcover is a social network for people to track what they read and want to read, make lasting connections with other readers and find life-changing books. We're anti-Amazon, pro-author, actively pursuing feedback and just getting started. 📚

Hi everyone! I've been involved with Hardcover as a user and supporter for over a year now, and I also joined its Librarian corps when the team first opened it up. I'm a mega-reader, averaging over 200 books per year for the last 4 years, and I'll still get near that number this year even when I was *trying* to go slower. BookSirens.com ranks me among the Top 1% in both reading diversity and readers helped among all those who have submitted data for their analysis. Hardcover has been great in so many areas already, and we're really just getting started. We've already got one of the best AI tools in the game, if not *the* best. We've already got some of the most granular statistics of any book library system I've found to date - and I've found a lot of them over the years. Our social feed system is already one of the better ones out there, easily allowing you to see feeds of just those you follow or even all activity on the system with just a single click, as well as the sometimes-infamous-in-other-systems "For You" feed, which combines the two and tailors them to your interests. As @stelofo and @adamfortuna have said, we're all about making this site the go-to place for *every* reader and *everyone* involved in making books happen. We don't care if you're reading the first book you've read since high school or if you read hundreds of books per year, we want to be the place where you come to find and talk about books. And yes, we even want to be the place that authors, publishers, and everyone else in the industry can come to find the tools they need for their various functions as well - and while we have some ideas there, we'd love to hear what *you* think so that we can try to be the first to make those ideas a reality. So come join us, and let's make revolutionize this game in ways it never has been before.

SO nice. Finally, a Goodreads replacement. Really nice UI, fast and way easier than Goodreads. Recommendations will get better as more users get on. I only wish it could connect with my Kindle and automatically mark things read for me, but that's not their fault.

Thanks for the review Elyse! Syncing Kindle is something on our list of priorities. It's a very tough technical integration apparently (maybe on purpose), but we've got some things we're trying out to see if we can make that happen. Will keep you posted on how that's going.

Better alternative to GoodReads and it's just started.

Thanks Hernando! Very happy to hear about every reader who finds us good enough to make the switch from GR.

Fantastic website and app for super readers! Already better than Goodreads :)

Thanks for the review, Ben! We're out here making that happen 🫡

I love it! Specially their recommendation feature and the librarian AI. It is so easy to find books I will love 😲

Thanks Natalia! We're always thrilled that readers find AskJules useful!

A quickly developing app that finally gives me the opportunity to drop Goodreads

Thanks a lot, John! Seeing this happen is what fuels our drive ✌️

Love it! I've long been on the hunt for something to replace GoodReads and Hardcover is it!

Thanks a lot, John! 🫡

Amazing, I love the concept and the personalization. I would love to see where the developers take this app.

Cheers Bryan! Thanks for the support! We have plans to do much more in that area with the coming updates.

Better Goodreads! All the features I need for tracking my books and sorting them, and also discovering new books and learning which ones are most likely to be a good match for me!

Thanks for the review Brittany! Really glad to have your own book on Hardcover as well!

awesome site for book lovers!

Thanks for the support Jon! Out here on the mission of serving book lovers everyday 🫡
