What is lib.reviews?
We believe that the information we use to make decisions -- about what book to read, what place to stay at or what product to buy -- will be of higher quality if we organize it transparently, through an open community. We apply some of the principles pioneered by projects like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap: an open source codebase, open licensing of all content, and no profit motive.
This also allows us to collaborate with these and other existing projects to collect and organize free and open metadata about businesses, products, and so on.
Comments and Reviews
good to see a free open source alternative but it needs so much work. I tried for a bit and I felt the need for categories (front page you see reviews from pizza places and videogames) and didn't find a way to recover password.
The password recovery part of it was improved this year, see: https://lib.reviews/team/6bfc0390-e218-4cb7-a446-2046cb886435/post/291d553d-bc0c-47d7-938a-e65439d378d6
lib.reviews is now being maintained with AI assistance through the newly created Permacommons project (https://permacommons.org/). It does mean progress has been made on the website in 2025, and ongoing improvments are being worked on.
