I did it again.... started another Fediverse service, this time a Bookwyrm instance.
I used Goodreads, but if there's a Federated alternative, why not use that.. So I setup a server and opened registrations.
Enjoy, and please let me know if you find anything that can be improved or changed.
this is pretty cool, but I never understood the appeal of "hey guys im reading this book"
I just subject that to the first person I talk to at work instead lol

It's more like:
You: Hey guys im reading this book
Random Guy: Hey! I'm currently reading this book as well!
You: Cool! Let me check out what else you like!
And that's how you find your book people and with them a stack of unread but cool books you need to work through.

5 0 ReplyI use it pretty heavily for tracking books that I want to read in the future. I follow multiple people who share similar tastes to me, and so I'm able to find a lot of really awesome books just by seeing what they're reading.

1 0 ReplyI use it. It's great for seeing your progress of reading a book over time. I update the # of pages I read for every book and the dates show me my pace.
