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?
There have been a few times where I write up a whole review in the app, I try to scroll down, but I accidentally swipe and return to the main book page. Then my whole review is lost :( It would be convenient if there were a sort of pop up like “are you sure you want to discard your review?” before returning to the main book page.
Would love a notification that my monthly round up is ready to download so it’s easier to post on social media!
Hey there, is it possible that we can get a search feature for the tagged section??! I have 84 different tags and it would be great if I can just type in what tag I want instead of scrolling through all of them. Thank you! :)
When setting your yearly reading goals, I would love to see an indication for the hours and pages goals that says "this is approximately x number of books on average" so people who read 50 books a year, but read more audio than text can adjust their goals accordingly. otherwise the goals can be misaligned.
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 ONE 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
