I like it,even though I was looking for the difference between it and goodreads. Maybe consider just books from past centuries cos those are kinda hard to find. That I will pay to get my hands on some.

Can you give me some examples of the books you’re looking for? I might have them, but sometimes I don’t have enough data to display them properly on the app/site.
As for the differences—MeetNewBooks is a recommendations-first app rather than a tracking or social platform. I suppose it depends on what you read, but Goodreads' recommendations didn’t work for me.
Brave New world by Aldous Huxley(20th century), La Comédie humaine by Honoré de Balzac(19th century)…..but I get the concept, I was just thinking since a recommendation app it would work well with a scarce niche and so that whenever I want unpopular old books I know where to go
Thanks for getting back to me!
Brave New World is actually quite popular on MeetNewBooks, and its recommendations include Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Animal Farm, and others [1].
For Honoré de Balzac, I do have several of his works, including Père Goriot. The top recommendations for that include authors like Gustave Flaubert, Stendhal, and Émile Zola [2].
I'll check if I have a more complete catalog of Balzac's works—some of this data can be tricky to source. If you have specific old or lesser-known books you're looking for, let me know!
