SHLF: Build Your Library 17+

Great alternative to Pinterest - more focused

Kinda seems a bit like a Pinterest ripoff at first, but as I’m starting to use it I think I like this more than Pinterest. Simply sharing a link is a lot easier than having to locate a photo to rip off of another site to use for your own post - and Pinterest is cluttered with lots of reposting of other people’s pins. Bookshlf is more streamlined and focused for specific types of media sharing rather than just being a catch-all.

Not as expected and now annoying

I downloaded this app as I was interested in getting updates on new papers being published in an array of scientific interests, but it is not that. The community is the same thing you see on Twitter and LinkedIn with a number of “influencers” posting pseudo scientific media articles about potential discoveries or over blown titles about scientific news. That was all well and good for some but not what I was interested in so I had them delete my account, which was fairly simple. The reason for the bad review is it’s now been a few weeks since deletion and they keep emailing me lists/updates/things to check out and it’s become a bother. Don’t sign up for this unless you are absolutely sure you want it.

Social Media done right

If you’re like me, you get a lot of your news, journalism, and reading from the internet. Finding good stuff can be really hard—most social media platforms have failed as media sources (too much drama, dumb AI curation, thoughtless hot-takes, etc). Bookshlf is a welcomed alternative to all those other platforms.

If your looking for a way to discover and share enlightening, entertaining, and engaging content curated by interesting people, join the Bookshlf community!
