What do you mean private and open source? How does that work?
Edit: my bad I misunderstood the meaning of private in this context. Ignore my dumb ass lol.
Why are those mutually exclusive? The code is open source, and your added books are private. This is presumably a goodreads without the social aspect.
@Adamzen @ssboomman Just to clarify, Openreads is not a book or a book reader, but rather a book reading tracker. With Openreads, your reading data and statistics are kept private to you. Additionally, the app is open-source, which means that you can verify its privacy features by examining the source code. You can even build your own version of the app or contribute to its development if you wish. I hope this helps clarify things!
