   Do you want to see a free open alternative to Goodreads? (Goodreads is owned by Amazon btw.)

   There's a direct alternative under development by @Alamantus , and you can help out at:

     I think that is the plan, but bear in mind the project was only begun a few days ago! :blobsmile:

     This is why it needs people to help out 👍

     Don't know much about it, but Booklikes seems to be a closed source site with lots of trackers (Facebook, Google etc).
