alt Hacker NewsUnrelated, but all I want is a letterboxd for books, with the light social aspect, the ability to log a read multiple times, and with a great interface. I read my hope for this into the title of this post, unfortunately.

Have you tried Bookwyrm? https://bookwyrm.social/
It uses ActivityPub, so you interact with Mastodon and stuff, if you are into that.
You want https://hardcover.app/.
I'm not logged in to https://hardcover.app/ right now, perhaps someone can confirm if it allows logging multiple reads.
Not going to reply to all the comments, but so glad I posted this! Lots of great recs I hadn’t heard of to check out
CLZ Books is sort of in that domain, and is the best solution I came across for cataloguing and tracking my 1000+ post 1970s books
That would be nice. Wonder if there'll be such a service with the federated small web. Good reads is too heavy on the social aspect for my taste.
I used LibraryThing a bit ago, but now I have a note with a list of books I add to regularly.
do you think there's space for that? i really wanted to build that too, but there is already goodreads, fable, storygraph, bookly, etc
have you seen https://literal.club ? For me it works quite well, i can log my reads there and can follow accounts of friends who have a good book taste
I'm building this -> https://building.bookdna.com/roadmap/
If you want to join the beta, just email me at [email protected]. We've got about 100 people using it right now.
We are working on goodreads/storygraph imports, and then adding folders. It already supports multiple reads and more.
