SO nice. Finally, a Goodreads replacement. Really nice UI, fast and way easier than Goodreads. Recommendations will get better as more users get on. I only wish it could connect with my Kindle and automatically mark things read for me, but that's not their fault.

Thanks for the review Elyse!
Syncing Kindle is something on our list of priorities. It's a very tough technical integration apparently (maybe on purpose), but we've got some things we're trying out to see if we can make that happen. Will keep you posted on how that's going.

Such a lovely product and team!
Fast and stable app with a good vibe and a nice community around it.
It has reading goals; also you can track your books (read, TBR, etc.); can create Lists of books, ask questions (called prompts).
SWEET! As an avid book reader this is going to be super helpful for me. I'm sharing it with my team as well. Thanks for making this Ste and Adam, this is amazing! (And as a marketer, I loved loved loved the branding and design, too...)
Ok so I don’t know much about Product Hunt, but I made an account just so I could leave this supportive review!
I’ve tried a lot of Goodreads alternatives and haven’t been into them. Mostly because they seem to have only a few gimmicky (imo) features that don’t long-term add any value to the reading app experience, so I always end up back on Goodreads anyway. BUT I’ve been using Hardcover for about two weeks now and I finally feel like there’s an app that has the potential to be a viable — and improved! — version of Goodreads.
Interface and branding are excellent. It seems like they may be working out some kinks in the functionality (for me, many books are not displaying the correct covers and some seem to be displaying as another unrelated book), but I feel good about their ability to tidy this up. The app is already promising, but I love that they have the planned/in-process/proposed features displayed and available for suggestion. I think that especially when some of these new features are up and running, this app will be pretty much all I could ever want in a book tracking app! Excited to see what their plans for collaborating with authors/publishers entail.
Good luck guys!
