There's one of these every other week. IMO "more social" and "Amazon-free" aren't the 10x improvements you need to compete with Goodreads

"more social" and "Amazon-free" may also not lend themselves well to bundling together. For me personally I'd love an Amazon-free version of goodreads that was built by someone who actually cared and updated it. The social stuff is a huge turn off though especially knowing it is being forced on the user judging from the other comments here

Reminds me of Brave browser that lumps "privacy browser" with "browser stuffed full of weird crypto crap", the latter I could do without.

Oh my god, thank you for saying that about Brave. Brave is by far my favorite browser, but all the crypto-pushing is just weird to me. It makes more sense to have them be add-ons, but the way the browser encourages it as part of it's functionality is indeed off-putting and why I took as long as I did to switch.
