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:

@shirasade @Alamantus

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

@heurrevex

Yes, there's @mobilizon which will federate through ActivityPub and is due for a first public beta in late October.

@LienRag @Alamantus

By the way, I think the data for books would come from Wikidata, which is the same source already successfully used by @inventaire

@LienRag @Alamantus

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 👍

@g

Sounds like there's a real world niche here for anyone who wants to bundle actually useful apps with phones :blobsmile:

@pskosinski

👏 👍 🇵🇱

@g

"none of the alternatives did *real* real-time sync which turned out to be a deal-breaker for shopping lists (to be fair, even Keep was not very good at it). "

Thanks for the post! I can believe this would be an essential tool in a lot of people's lives, doesn't sound silly!

Keep regularly keeps being mentioned in requests for alternatives.

@dansup

Aaaaah... so *that's* what this "webfinger" is that people keep talking about.

TIL 👍

Are you looking for a free open alternative to Google Keep?

Do you want to sync your notes/to-do lists etc on your phone with your cloud?

There are a couple of good options:

#Carnet
https://getcarnet.app
Follow them at @Carnet

#Joplin
https://joplinapp.org/
Follow them at @joplinapp

They work with personal clouds such as @nextcloud and @ownclouders , and Carnet has its own public cloud too for those who don't have their own one.

@gregoiremarty

Yeah, they are both up to date according to their stats. Maybe it's a bug of some sort.

@gregoiremarty

That's very odd, as far as I can tell diaspodon is updated to 10.2 so it should work :blobsad:

Thank you for the responses so far, apparently you have to use the URL of an account to follow it, so for example:

https://pixelfed.social/earth (including https:// at the beginning)

The @ address apparently won't work, sorry for my post causing confusion.
