Goodreads was the future of book reviews. Then Amazon bought it.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Does anyone else ignore the reviews and social media aspect of Goodreads and only use it to organize their data?
You might like StoryGraph better for that. I switched from Goodreads because I got sick of all the social aspects of the site. I just want to keep track of what I've read and update it so I get a Spotify Wrapped like experience for books—StoryGraph offers that.
When StoryGraph gets its api (on the roadmap). That'll be delightful.
I'm still bummed GoodReads discontinued their official API. (They have an undocumented GraphQL one driving parts of their site you can use. Ish.)
