I would love the ability to filter on certain friends/following so I can focus on just their newsfeed updates. Some people read a LOT and clog up my feed. This seems like a good middle ground so slower readers don’t get lost in the shuffle but I don’t have to consider unfriending the prolific readers. Bonus points if you can select multiple people at once for the filter.

Ex. Reddit has a way to pin certain subreddits so you can only scroll through that subset in a custom view.

I would love to be able to pin a few books currently being read at the top of the home page and eventually on the currently reading page itself. (A bit like the “up next” feature in the TBR). I read several books at a time and some I would like to prioritise slip at the bottom and get forgotten, because others get percentage updates more often.

Could we get a faster way of setting the start date and end date of a challenge to none, so that the challenge doesn’t have a set time to complete it? The current way of doing it by setting both dates to blank by scrolling through the three menus (day/month/year) for both start and end date is a bit fastidious. Propositions:

1. A new button to set both dates to no date
2. Make it easier to set to no date on the two menus for example by clicking on the existing “start date” then “end dates” and it would set all menus to blank

When you go into the entered giveaways, it would be helpful to be able to filter to giveaways you’ve won. It would make it easier to accept and download giveaway wins.

Some series have hundreds of volumes - e.g. comics. If I want to scroll to volume 480 then have to start from the first and go page by page by page by page by page.

This takes forever (some index links would be useful too!).

So, instead, if I search for “COMIC 480” and am on that book’s page, when I tap on the series link at the top of the page, could I go to that volume in the entire series (such that I’m immediately in the correct block of 10) rather than the first volume in that series (and then have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll… you get the idea… 😉)

It would be very helpful for those who read primarily on our phones to be able to upload a screenshot from our camera rolls when searching by cover image. (I think right now the only way to search by image for ISBN/cover image comes from opening your camera, which doesn’t work for digital content.) Used to get around this problem by using ISBN import but that is no longer available.

I casually like to maintain a streak but am not too worried when I lose it. It is frustrating however to have to wait a full extra day after a missed day for it to acknowledge that I’m at 0 or 1. I understand folks who miss entering in data don’t want to be shocked by a 0, but I would prefer the streak count on the homepage be accurate to the data it has at the time. There can still be that big box for “Previous period incomplete” on the streak page. But having to wait a full extra day to see my streak decrease makes it feel like a bigger deal than it is.

I'd love to be able to bulk add books to a reading challenge.
Use case example: being able to go to one of my tags that meets reading challenge criteria and bulk add all the books in that tag list to the reading challenge.

Adding a small book icon, headphone icon, or book and headphone icon (immersive read!) alongside the rating on the Ratings Collage would be a nice touch. While the sizing of the book's image can indicate that, not all audiobook versions in StoryGraph use the square/audiobook visual.

It would be awesome if you guys could work with kobo to make buddy reads where you can share annotations between people on the actual books! I love when I get a annotated book from a friend and it would be so cool do do this digitally.

I would love to have the option to see the number of pages read in the previous week. The closest to this is the line graph for the reading streak. But I'd have to add up the page number for each day so I know the total. Similarly, having a chart that shows the number of pages read per week would also be useful for comparisons.

I'd love to have either a dropdown in the read status or a checkbox somewhere where I can mark that a book doesn't sound like it's for me (at least not now). I look at a lot of books and don't always remember the title/cover so then need to essentially keep reading info about them and then deciding it's not for me. I'm using a tag now but I'd like better options for this

When I click on the text box to add a new tag to a book, the drop down list that appears is on top of the update button. More often than I’d like to admit, this causes me to forget to hit the update button (out of sight, out of mind, I guess!), and thus I lose my changes and have to redo them. Plus it requires an additional tap to close the drop down list (which isn’t immediately obvious, adding to the problem)

Is there any chance the “Update” button could dynamically move to just after the bottom of the drop down list, or perhaps move the button to above the tag box (or somewhere else that’s more visible).

Thanks!

Goal: Find a book that fits your current reading vibes that's part of a specific open challenge that you're participating in.

Example: I created and joined a number-type challenge to work through a specific TBR pile of 111 books that can be read in any order and are all different kinds of genres and moods. I want the next book I choose to be one of the books that's part of that specific challenge, but also to fit what I'm in the mood for at the time without having to read through every title in the list. https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/fb7834ee-9633-4e53-8aae-166e2d0d3b4e

Idea #1: Add a filter to challenge pages so you can filter within the list of books you've (or anyone has?) added to that specific challenge. This is especially helpful for number type challenges, where there can be a big pile of books without a prompt associated.

Idea #2: Add a "challenges" option to the filter settings on your To Read list that lets you select challenges you've joined. It can then search for books that meet your other criteria AND are in a specific challenge.

Or something else that someone else comes up with to reach the stated outcome?

It's fun to see how many challenges I've completed, but I also participate in several long-term challenges with almost 200 prompts (e.g. Essential Women & Read around the world) and I would love to see in my yearly wrap-up how much % progress I've made on each of those!

Right now the books are reviewed out of 5 stars. Although the users can give partial stars, it is actually hard to rank the books.

There are some alternative approaches, for instance the pairwise ranking (there are many tools available online). In essence, you compare 2 books at a time and indicate which one you prefer. You do this comparison many times, and you end up getting hopefully an unbiased list of ranked books.

What I usually do is at the end of a year is that I copy/paste the book titles I’ve finished to another app and do this comparison. I think having a version of this tool built in to StoryGraph could be nice (and ranked lists to be stored).

For instance, there can be two flavours:

• Ranking of read books of all time
• Ranking of read books of a specific year

You can even add some of the results to the end of the year wrap-up.

Most avid manga readers like myself use a platform like MAL or Anilist to track their manga alongside their anime, but tracking it both in those platforms and where I do the rest of my reading (Storygraph) is a hassle. Being able to sync them would be GREAT!

For example, if I have a read vs unread chart of my owned books, I would like to exclude books I have tagged as “husband” which are books we own that are his that I will never read. My read vs unread ratio is skewed since I track our library together, but my goal isn’t to read 100% of our owned books it is to read 100% of owned books minus “husband” books.

This could also be useful for other reasons

Hi, is there any chance for a montly TBR feature?

I’d like to be able to add a picture in the notes page rather than text being the only option

Would it be possible to receive a notification that asks if a book should be added through the kobo integration. Now, if I accidentally open a book or want to read my notes on it, it directly marks it as 'reading'.

I propose a weighted star rating system. Specifically, I don't think a DNF 1 star rating should be given the same weight in a rating. Many literary classics are rated much lower than "crowd pleasers" and perusing the ratings, it seems like some of this may be due to people marking DNF and citing everything from form to content to issues with characters not being likable to give a poor rating. I think a "% DNF" would be a good metric to still give those people a voice, but rating a book after reading 1/4 of it is silly.

I see many books tagged as, for example, 'literary' when I would heavily dispute that. I would love the ability to question or vote a tag out or in. Could get messy, but there are many books tagged in a way that I think warrants a "flagging" or challenge system.

Apologies if this is duplicate, I searched but came up empty:

At the moment, we can pin up to 5 favourites, or none. If none are pinned, 5 will be shown. If fewer than 5 are pinned, they are the only ones shown: Pin 4, see 4, pin 2, see 2, etc.

Would it be possible to pin fewer than 5, and have the "remaining" ones of the 5 maximum still selected randomly, so that 5 are still showing - some pinned, some unpinned?
