As a regular Goodreads user, I've never cared about the site's relatively slow load times. What's important to me is the trust that the site will still be around in 20 years, largely thanks to the Amazon ownership and Kindle integrations. I wouldn't have that same faith in an anonymous competitor.

Goodreads was that anonymous site once upon a time. You're just not an early adopter and that's okay. That's no reason to not create a better alternative.

I think it's a little insincere to compare Goodreads' release 13 years ago with a competitor launching against it now.

The kindle integration, the amount of correct data, and the fact that it's not going to vanish in the next year is what keeps me using GoodReads.
