Comments and Reviews
I like that you can "import" books from other websites instead of adding them manually. The community also seems nice. The servers tend to get overworked more often than alternatives, but that's the price to pay with a small project like this.
A bit janky in the state it's in now, but that's to be expected since it hadn't even had its first major release yet. Shows a lot of potential and it feels a bit more fun to use than e.g. Goodreads imo. Excited to see where it goes!
