What do you use to track your reading? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello all! I mostly use StoryGraph (my name is creadstoomuch if you wanna be friends), but I was wondering what other options y'all have found that work for you. There are many things I like about it (the fact that it is not an Amazon product, the design, the stats, the currently reading tracking abilities) but there are also some things I don't like (the drop down menus behaving irregularly and, in some places, very poorly being my biggest issue). I also use LibraryThing to find my next reads but it doesn't have the currently reading tracking of StoryGraph.

So what do you use? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Calibre automatically updates Goodreads so that ends up being my backup.

I’m torn between The StoryGraph and Hardcover. Hardcover is the better app/site in my opinion, but it’s still quite young so the book database is rougher with a lot of duplicates or missing metadata. But it also has a public API so hopefully someone will write a Calibre Plugin and I can stop with Goodreads all together.

That said, I pay for both, and Hardcover even with missing data beats StoryGraph by 10%, imho.

I’m JaymesRS on all the places, and I’m always looking to follow others.
