I’d love to be able to set the streak figure for a full week, not that I have to do the pages everyday for a week but instead read 200 pages in a week would count as 1 (or even 7) if completed

When comparing stats (for plus users), I can only see SG's stats. I'd love to also be able to compare my custom charts.
I was trying to clean up my Paused books and marked one of them as DNF because I realized it's been Paused for months and I'm never going to pick it back up. It set today as the DNF date, which I guess maybe makes sense since today is the day I made the decision, but I expected it to set the DNF date to the date I paused it. More oddly though, it added a Resumed entry and a DNF entry into the journal log, which didn't seem right. Not entirely sure what all the right behavior should be here but it seemed strange so I just wanted to log it.
When adding books to challenge prompts, I can't seem to figure out how to choose the right language version. It always prefers the English-language version of a book, even for books originally written in another language.
Now that I studied it more it is possible on the desktop version, but I would really love for this to be possible a bit more easily.
I just saw that there have been some updates to the book page on mobile and I'm really sad that the Editions picker is now hidden behind a drop-down. I use that button on basically every book I read, because the format that pops up on search is almost never the correct one. Having to tap the drop-down every time I do this now is a disappointing change since it's such a high traffic button for me.
Additionally, I already just exploring one single book accidentally hit the "To Read" button when I meant to hit the new drop-down. An easily rectifiable mistake, but also one I'm sure I will be repeating very often.
I know that space is at a premium on this page, but please reconsider this design choice, because it will make the app so much harder to use for my most common workflows.
When adding a new book manually, the system asks for a full edition publication date (year, month, day). Other sources never cite the full date, just the year, so I end up entering random months and days.
Request: allow entering edition date by year only.
It would be nice if we could reorder the layout/listing of the info page for books. The ability to collapse/uncollapse the review section would also be nice since it's kinda huge.
Like if I wanted content warnings to be the first thing on the list before getting to the recommendations, etc.
Would like to have an optional alternative to the star ratings since I, personally speaking, don't really quantify my reading numerically but rather by how much I felt I enjoyed it.
Something like a binary rating system with at least three options (like/dislike/ambivalent) or the traffic light rating system which is similar to the former but uses colors instead (green = like, red = dislike, yellow = ambivalent).
Star ratings just leaves me trying to guess which number(s) best correlates to how I feel about a book which just ends up with me not rating them at all.
Hello!
I have been looking for new books similar to an author I have read, but all the recommendation in the personalised and non-personalised book recommendations aren't what I'm looking for (https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/77a020da-5351-42ff-a144-f34b0b3c32d2/similar)
I was wondering if it would be possible to forsee an option for Rob to develop similar to a chatbot where you could ask questions for new recommendations. I'm specifically thinking questions like "I like this series (URL or click and select) and this series/author. What do they have in common and what does this tell you about my tastes in books (referencing reading history and reading preferences survey)? Based on this info, what books/series/authors do you recommend I read next?
I would like to retrieve the books I have read and have not yet rated. Is it possible to display/sort unrated books?
CSV Export for Stats and Reading Journal
I would like to request the ability to export my StoryGraph stats and Reading Journal data in a CSV format that can be used in Excel.
Requested Functionality:
• Export all core reading stats in CSV, including genres, moods, pacing, formats, page counts, and other categories StoryGraph already tracks.
• Export Reading Journal entries: pages read, reading duration, and reading dates.
• Allow users to select a custom date range for the export.
• Allow users to choose which data categories to include in the file.
Why This Matters:
StoryGraph provides monthly charts, but the visuals are limited and not customizable. Being able to export this data would let users create their own charts, graphics, and reading reports in Excel. Since StoryGraph already logs all of this information, users should be able to export their own data in a flexible format for personal analysis and documentation.
I've really loved the switch in most places to having the edition format (paperback, hardback, digital, audio) included in information list, but for some reason it hasn't been done on the book page. I saw the preview of the new format for the book page and noticed it's not there either, so I thought I'd put in a request!
With the new update I was thinking more about the mood chart and I started thinking about how the moods are distinct from each other in the chart, but books usually include more than one. I think it would be really neat to have some way to show how often moods correlate with each other. For example, a book that's funny and lighthearted is pretty different than a book that's funny and dark. Looking at my top two moods, a combination of them accounts for about half of #1 and 2/3 of #2, so it would be interesting to see what the other related moods are. Right now, if we click on a bar, the book list ONLY shows the mood we clicked on and not any of the others that the book has, so it's kind of difficult to see easily.
Ability to remain in current order instead of going back to newest challenge
A button similar to the archive button.
"Editor" in both fiction and non-fiction is probably the most commonly used contributor in book data after author. When entering a new book manually it would be incredibly helpful to be able to tag a contributor as "Editor." I manually add a lot of academic non-fiction books.
I would really like to see estimates for how long it may take me to read something based on previously read books in my personalised summary for books. E.g. This lighhearted romance is 300 pages, similar to others you have read in the past. If you maintain the same reading pace, you may be able to finish this book in 4 days.
I tend to have a fair few ideas that I've posted in the Roadmap and I would love to be able to see them in my user profile or be able to search for my username to see any updates on them!
When browsing editions of a book, it would be nice to search for editions with a specific contributor, for example to see all the editions of Emily Wilson's translation of The Illiad.
This would also help in finding specific edition. For example, I saw that The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller appears in Emily Wilson's list of works. I could guess she's written an introduction/foreward at one point and wanted to see which edition that is. But the only way to find that on StoryGraph is to go to the list of editions of The Song of Achilles, scroll down and ctrl+F for Emily Wilson's name (there are 300+ editions so this took a while).
A lot of the time a person is only a contributor on some editions. When browsing the list of books on their page, I'd like to be able to see the specific edition that they contributed to. eg on an illustrator's page I'd like to see the illustrated edition of a book and rather than the default one; on an audiobook narrator's page it would be nice to see audio editions.
I know you just shipped an update to the scatter plot. Sorry for adding more! This came up as I was clicking around on the new chart.
Would it be possible to see the edition pub date on the chart and not just the first pub date? Maybe a way to toggle between the two?
I read translations and it's helpful to see when a book was published in the language I read it in against the read year because that's when it became accessible to me.
It would be good if you could add pages you've read but might not necessarily want to add as a book you've read. For me, this is novellas or short fanfics that I wouldn't necessarily add to my account, but sometimes I get in a binge of fics and can't track any reading unless I read one that is either already uploaded, upload one for it myself (even if it's very short and I don't want to add to my book count for the year) or pick up another book.
Would it be possible to just make user added tags visible without having to click on the little caret for each individual book? It makes visually scanning the page easier to have that just be visible.
