how not a single one of you has made Better Goodreads. I loving hate Goodreads. The UX, the design, the communities it has fostered, all intolerable. Like half of you are computer guys. You could probably make money off books Letterboxd somehow, right??? If you do this you'll probably get into heaven. That's a pretty good reason. I gotta get lunch but can we think about this for like ten seconds

The problem is that you need a lot of money to make and market a site like that even if it is poo poo. I am curious what the problem with it is though? I pretty much only see it when I look up a book, it has some ratings which seem pretty random and reviews which possibly are useful, not sure since I don't read them. But if you use the site I'd like to know what your don't like about it

My friend told me to get good reads to track my reading and follow hers. I get emails about the books she blasts through and I'm still on book 3 of the year that I haven't touched in months. That's my good reads storey

Thank god we have the ideas guy aspect of this project covered. At least the hard part is out of the way and I suppose all we have to do now is just make the drat thing. Easy.

I think the problem in this day and age is that a superior product doesn’t necessarily mean that it will succeed, unfortunately. The right marketing and a solid community on the other hand… Take a Macbook or an iPhone for example. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that they are superior products by any means, but the story Apple let’s people believe in on the other hand:

I DO NOT KNOW an alarming number of critical industrial machines use software that could be described in this way. it's all one big house of cards

since around 2018 every time anyone tries to code anything it just turns into an AI or metaverse thing, existing examples of functional software are now irreplaceable relics. I just tried to make a hello world program for old times sake and it compiled into a chatbot that keeps pushing me to click malformed links to Andrew Tate videos

Oh la-di-dah, I'm so fancy, I need a website to keep track of all the books I've read. I don't tear out all the pages as I read and don't nail the cover to the wall after I finish the book like a normal person would.

A strong healthy computer person costs like $1 million per year and then add server costs and advertising and so on. Your book platform is not gonna make that much ad revenue in a year or even 10 years. Nobody even reads anymore, op. GenZ has read like one single book ever, collectively
