Some feedback:

- I think the shadows around the boxes are a bit too much. I'd pull those in a bit.

- I'm skeptical of the links going to Amazon. Are they affiliate links? What about other bookstores?

- I like the "stacks" idea, which I assume is a curated list of books to read.

- It would be nice if there was a discovery mechanism where I can enter books I like, and it'll give me other options that I might like.

Congrats on the launch!



Yeah. And isn't GoodReads linking to Amazon what makes GoodReads Goodreads? I was expecting Stack not to include any links like that.

I guess I just don't know what "anti-goodreads" means.


Thanks for the feedback!

- They are very pronounced, I might tone them down, yeah.

- About the amazon links: basically the idea is simply to have a quick way to find/buy the book if you're interested in it. I might add other bookstores in the future but amazon seemed like the easiest/most efficient way for now. Also, I was thinking the affiliated links could help run the site.

- Glad to hear that! That's what they are.

- I agree. Not sure how to implement something like that but I'll think about it.
