I'm a web dev and /lit/fag. Like you guys, I'm tired of goodreads and also tired of the fact that we don't really have any alternative to it. So, I propose we make a /lit/ non-pleb version of goodreads. Why am I fucking posting this and not working on it already? Well, a coupple of reasons
>don't really have money to start on the project
>need to know if people will actually use the site
So, can everyone go to poll attached and give me a rough idea about whether or not most of you will use the site AND that IF you guys are willing and capable of funding a /lit/ project such as this.
I know this is not directly related to book content, but, I am legit tired with Goodreads and I think a lot of you share the feelings about it as I do.

I think a need is felt for this.
RYM for books essentially what you want as I see it. You would basically need to open it to beta though in order to build up the database and reviews.
You might want to talk to the RYM people and see if they have an interest in helping or any tips for you in tackling this project.

I mean, I am interested, but ultimately happy with my goodreads so I won't be contributing. Have a bump though.

Can we have an alternative to a rating system?
Rating books is a garbage concept
At best there should be just recommendations

Jesus put your dick in your pants. There is no general consensus here that people hate goodreads. It does it's job and provides golden keks on the reviews section of the site. Also, spending your time and energy to establish an alternative community where there is no demand for one is just self indulgence and not realizing that you cannot have a FREE transit site and a 'non pleb' one, as you say, at the same time. If everyone can register or browse then it's just as good as a goodreads with a different layout, and if you charge subscriptions so only the really interested will come it's guaranteed they wont because goodreads is free
