As a longtime Goodreads user I'm kind of smitten with Hardcover. It offers nearly everything I want: good database, lists, status, searching. Also has responsive developers and a promising roadmap. The one thing it's missing is, sigh, my friends. hashtag-networkeffect. I'm a paying supporter.

I've been a paying supporter of Storygraph since its beta days, but I just don't really get it. Its social aspects are awful. Maybe it's great for automated book recommendations, but I have zero interest in that. I just want to see what my friends are reading, have read/reviewed, want to read. And I want to keep track of my books.

Bookwyrms looks promising but each time I try it I run into new stumbling blocks. I will keep playing with it, but for now my efforts are all on Hardcover.

Yeah I love hardcover, I only wish it were a little easier to create & see the private notes I've written for a book. They're tucked away in the review page at the moment. Apart from that it's great, does everything I need with a nice interface.
