Reading is part of my identity': the woman taking on Goodreads owner Amazon
Briefly

Nadia Odunayo, a London-based software engineer, has created The StoryGraph, a reading platform that presents a viable alternative to Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon. Initially intended as a companion app, The StoryGraph now boasts 3.8 million users, many migrating from Goodreads due to its perception as outdated and too closely tied to Amazon's influence. Users appreciate The StoryGraph's emphasis on varied data and user-friendly features, sparking a growing community of book lovers now seeking a more independent and enriching reading experience.
I think people love the different types of data we give. We just have a lot of really cool features, and the buddy read-alongs.
Goodreads feels outdated. Its interface looks clunky, and the features are limited.
