Hacker News Reader

I think they do around $500k+ a year based on the numbers they have shared in a few spots. The new giveaway platform for authors should help jump that revenue up too.

what? how?? how do so many people in the world read books that they have needs for a SECOND book review platform?

i just feel really behind on my book reading :/ havent read a good book in like a year.

The paid feature is book tracking and stats.

Reviews are a by product IMO. I mean Goodreads reviews setup is horrible, no screening, nothing helpful in the implementation, etc

I am curious of more about the business as well, but I imagine even a very small proportion of paying users could be sufficient to maintain a 3-people team with that scale

My wife loves Storygraph, and has said that she thinks they give away too much for free and need to put more value behind premium.
