Story Graph?

I was listening to Too Many Tabs and Mrs P mentioned a website called storygraph.com as an alternative to Goodreads. I was wondering if anybody had heard about it or had an experience with it. Any pitfalls or skeletons in the closet?

I switched from Goodreads to Storygraph and I love it. It doesn't have ties to amazon and it's a bit like goodreads minus the pointless fluff.
I go back and forth between that and Hardcover. I like the features of both, but I think I like Hardcover.app slightly better.
That said we do have a reading challenge on Storygraph for our book bingo.
It's legit.
I've been using it for years now. It does everything I want and doesn't push me into the features that aren't for me, it's great.
I'm impressed that it's still developed by one person: StoryGraph Team
Which reminds me I'm 4 books behind on my 2025 reading goal...
I like it's book tracking functions. Recommendations are pretty good. Stats are cool. I don't use any of the social functions so can't speak to that
Yes, I moved a couple years ago as one small step to remove Amazon in my life.
I know there are other alternatives, but StoryGraph met my needs and I never looked further.
Upon switching, they have import tools to help transfer your GoodReads read history and your TBR list into StoryGraph.
Once there, they have recommendations and giveaways, and challenges, similar to GoodReads. I'm by no means a power user but have not found any features missing from StoryGraph that I care about.
I use it. No skeletons that I know of.
I use storygraph exclusively. The app is slow sometimes, but the upsides are worth it. It doesn't share any data with other parties, and it isn't part of Amazon to name a few.
Also, the monthly review graphics it generates are very pleasing!
Definitely recommend
This post points out that you can export your GoodReads history into Storygraph so that you don't to start over.
I still have to give Storygraph a go, but I’ve heard it had got some nice analytics features.
I’m happy with tracking my reading on the Fediverse-enabled BookWyrm 😉
Your profil is no longer public like in GR. So you can just send it to friends they need a profile to, to be able to see yours. But i still like it.
I switched over to it from Goodreads a few years ago and really dig it. Been slowly getting all my friends to take the jump too and it’s nice seeing more people’s activity again.
