In reading challenges, you can see what other people have added to the prompts to give you recommendations. It would be nice if the ones at the top are ones that are on our TBR/read books/etc. so that you can see the books you already want to read.
I know that we can go to our TBR pile/read books/etc. and search through those lists, but it would be nice if we could skip that step and have our top results in the general search bar prioritize books already in our library.
OR have a list for our entire library, containing books on our TBR, read books, DNFs, etc.
I’d love to be able to choose my books in advance for a reading challenge and see the cover of all the reading challenge books. I like how you can see books you’ve added for a challenge, but I’d love to have a book selected for a challenge to see my plan outlined. Kind of like when you’ve added a book you can see the books you’ve added to a challenge.
It's very common to see books in storygraph where the same author appear twice (sometimes more) in the list of authors. I'm not talking about in other roles (contributor, illustrator, etc), which i imagine there may be cases in which it makes sense to have it, but just in the regular list of authors the same author (with same author id) appear twice.
I imagine this is due to some wrong import, but as a librarian i had to fix hundreds of this so far, and everyday i find more.
It would be nice, in order to have better data and to remove some work from librarians, to do a cleanup directly in the DB removing all authors that appear more than once in the same book, and leave only one, so we cleanup the data we already have.
Also it would be nice to have this automatic cleanup every time someone add the same author twice, or if an author gets merged into another author redo it on all their books, in case it appear twice after the merge
As I am looking at books, I'd love to be to click "add to challenge" and then select a challenge and it adds it without me having to navigate to the challenge, and then hit edit, scroll allllll the way down to the bottom to add the book.
I'd love to have a custom chart feature where I see a tag vs time (so for a few months scale, vs month, for a few year scale, vs year). I'm thinking specific genre vs time or custom tag vs time could be really interesting to track how reading preferences change over time.
The ui of Storygraph is only available in english making it unusable for people speaking other languages, on top of that, the option to add books on other languages is already there, and the stat is also there. It feels deceiltful to not have the ui also in other languages, is just a basic translation so is accessible for more people
Readest is a pretty great cross-platform reader. Would love to connect it with StoryGraph.
Sometimes I don’t want other peoples star reviews to influence how I feel about the book before I’ve submitted mine
I would love to be able to switch the edition of one readthrough or journal entry. My particular use case is that I read one edition one time and a different edition the second time, but both rereads are listed as the edition I read the second time. I want to change the first to be the correct edition, but if I switch editions, it changes both rereads. I don't want to have to delete and remake the journal entries.
TLDR: colour code the warning triangle for content warnings, to easily differentiate graphic from mild at a glance.
For those of us who have some content warnings set to notify, the yellow triangle that comes up against potentially problematic books is a godsend. However, some content warning items feature at a mild level very frequently, which means seeing that yellow triangle a lot. Whilst the CWs are all available in detail further down the page, it would be really handy if the triangle colour coded to reflect severity/frequency of mentions. Probably red for graphic, orange for moderate and yellow for mild (on the basis that green would suggest none). But it could also be brights for frequently flagged and pastels for fewer flags.
I am very grateful that the feature exists, but I’d like to be able to utilise it without having to think about /check for my triggers as much.
It would be nice to have a box to check on the Add Review page to add a book to my favorites. 👍
I'd love a way to give books in my TBR pile a counter for how many recommendations I've read for them. Sometimes I go to log a TBR to find it already on my list - I'd like to be able to note that so that it could be used as a sorting order for my TBR pile.
Because the search results only display the initial version of the book, which is usually the hardcover, it is inconvenient to then go to the editions list and click a three line menu and then go to switch edition when I'm selecting the audio or electronic version.
It would be nice if on the currently reading/to read drop down. We could see the switch additions when we've already added a different addition of this book to a shelf.
I would love the option to have my favorites exist as a list someone can scroll through.
So the options could be:
Manually updating my progress in audiobooks is quickly becoming a pain point. This is particularly noticeable during a buddy read, when comments don’t unlock until book progress is updated, despite leaving comments that indicate how far I’ve read.
I'd really like an option on the stats page for a view that combines Read Books and To-Read Pile books.
I'd love if genres like shounen, shoujo, isekai, etc etc would get added since a lot of manga/light novels use these
I understand that the book lists shown in a challenge prompt only reflect the books that others have added. It would be helpful if we could add a count of how many people have added the book to give an idea of how likely it is that the book actually fits the prompt. Another option would be an AI-generated confidence score.
I would like to see some additional options added to the To-Read page. The highest priority for me is to have a filter for books that I have NOT added to a reading challenge. I like to use my To-Read filtered on books I own to plan out my challenges. Currently I have to individually go into books to see if I’ve already added them to a challenge. With the new filter I could hide anything already added and start from a clean list.
Additional options that could be helpful: filter by hours for audiobooks, filter by average rating.
The links for storygraph when shared on discord don't show any preview at all. I think it would be nice if they at least showed title and author. The book cover of the edition linked where available would also be cool!
I seem to be under the impression this lies with the site itself (so storygraph in this case) rather than the program and that it may depend on version. I'm using discord on Linux so that might be part of the issue.
I don't plan to use the extra features that come with a subscription, but still want to support the app. I'm on a very tight budget, but could afford $1 a month. It would be nice to have that option instead of canceling the sub for a few months, then resub for 1, and repeat.
Hi! Huge fan! One feature that would be awesome (and plays into the request for an API) is integrating with the AT protocol, which underlies bluesky. https://atproto.com/
it was designed originally to billionaire-proof twitter, which fits with your goals as an alternative to goodreads. there are even already some examples to learn from and integrate with, like popfeed.social. the fun part is that i’d be able to use storygraph, and with the right syncing behavior users on popfeed could see and follow my reviews.
this would also satisfy requests for an API, since users could query their personal data server (PDS, where atproto data lives) directly. for example, here’s a record on my PDS: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:s7xw6pqvc72ha73bogjqp4m3/social.popfeed.book.progress/3mjbgmq4mv42p
in the long term, this would provide network effects, reduce hosting costs, and create resiliency for users and their data. atproto is designed to be “the last social account you need” since data is portable across applications.
this could be done in a few stages/pieces:
anyways, let me know if this sounds interesting or if you have any questions! i’m not affiliated w bluesky, but i am a dev and a fan!
Some sort of integration to sync with KOReader, similar to Kobo integration.
For now I found this plugin for KOReader, but doesn't seem to be working properly https://github.com/burneracc0112/storygraph.koplugin
It would be nice to have a way to format a tag automation for if we mark specific books in certain ways. For instance, I love to track all the books I've read for any and all challenges across multiple websites I use and would love to just have my book challenger tag auto every time I complete a book listed in one of my SG challenges. I would love to have anything I read in 2026 auto get my "2026 reading challenge" tag and similar.
