## Description

BiblioReads is a free, open-source alternative front-end for Goodreads built with privacy in mind. It fetches book details, author pages, quotes, and search results by scraping Goodreads, then serves them through a clean interface that has no advertisements, no tracking cookies, and no mandatory registration. Every request goes through the self-hosted instance so visitors never contact Goodreads directly. The UI is responsive, includes both light and dark themes, and works as a Progressive Web App on desktop and mobile. Deployment options include Docker, Docker Compose, or a manual Node.js setup. The code is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the project lists dozens of public instances alongside the official one at biblioreads.eu.org.
