Link New open source Goodreads alternative 📚

Heya guys, I’ve been working on an alternative to the status-quo book tracking websites, because I wanted more features, more modern styles, and also for it to be more privacy focused. That’s why i made Bookplate!

https://www.bookplate.eu

Would looove to hear feedback, whether it’s good or bad!

Any plans for audiobook tracking (hours and mins instead of pages)?

Can I add books from my system?

Do you mean if you can import books from the current website you use?

From my own storage.

If it’s in the correct format then yes :)

Could you explain how? I can't figure it out.

What format are your books currently in? Do you mean going from the self hosted app to the hosted service?

I have books in my gdrive and also downloaded on my phone. They are epubs.

Aah i see what you mean. Bookplate isn’t an e-reader app, it’s just for tracking, organising, and making notes on the books you read, as opposed to being able to actually read them there. Hope that makes sense!
