Where Logfolio differs
- Books sit next to your films, TV, games and albums, on one page.
- Your own types for anything else, like recipes, places or gear (Pro).
- Your page opens for anyone, no account needed, with real covers on a bookcase-style shelf.
- Featured picks at the top of each section, and tabs per section.
- No social layer, so it's your log, not a feed.
Bringing your Goodreads history
- On the Goodreads website, open My Books, then Import and export, and click Export Library.
- In Logfolio, open Settings, then Import, and upload the CSV as it is.
- Ratings, read dates and reviews come over (reviews stay private). Shelves become tags. Run it again later and nothing is added twice.
