I know we can sort all comments by descending instead of ascending, but if a person is replying to an old comment, you still have to scroll all the way to see the new response. Through notifications, you have to click one at a time. I'd love some sort of way to just see all new comments.

It would be great to sort by time commented rather than part of the book (including replies—if the parent comment is 4 days old but there's a reply from 1 minute ago, I still want the parent and subcomment to be at the top as "new"). A filter would always be nice, but I'm assuming timestamps would be easier to not miss anything.

My mom is catching up on an old buddy read I already finished and I'm having to scroll through all the comments again each time to see her responses. It's that, or going one by one in notifications.

If I'm just missing an easy way to do this, please let me know!

I’m trying to diversify my reading so being able to see stats (and create pie charts on) on the authors (ie ethnicity, sexuality etc) would be really useful and interesting to have

I’d like the ability to use themes/moods/genres/book format that are already stored on the books in custom charts instead of having to use only custom tags.

I.e. I’d like to compare the Young Adult Genre with my ‘Not YA’ custom tag
And a pie chart of paperback vs hardback books etc

I think it would be interesting to see how many different languages a book family has on TSG along with how many different editions there are. How successful a book is is often measured in terms of translation to other languages, so it would be useful information.

So then you could see that a book has 17 editions and 5 languages for example.

I regularly find myself manually adding data to existing titles or completely adding new books onto Storygraph. I really enjoy doing this and contributing to the community. However, it's difficult when there are multiple authors/series with the same name already logged into the system, and I don't know which one of these identical names/series to select. There's a 4-digit code attached to the names, but no clear information on what it means.
I've noticed that this has clearly been an issue for other people before, too, as I've seen some book series with books from completely different series that just happen to share the same name grouped together. I'm unsure how to report this either, as 'the series isn't called x, it's called x' doesn't seem particularly helpful!
I'd love for this to be remedied :)

I would suggest a this day in reading. The ability to see what you were reading on today’s date in year’s past, how many books/pages you read by this point last year, by this point in the month last year, etc.

The option to hide a completed book for a reading challenge prompt is available if you're the creator of the challenge, but not if you're participating in someone else's challenge. Make that option available to anyone?

At the moment when you view a Challenge you have joined, the books appear to be sorted in the order they were added.

Add a sorting option.

• Added order
  • I assume this is the current default ordering, and would represent the order they were added to the Challenge
• Read order
  • eg grouped Reading, Read, Unread [per user]
• Unread order
  • eg grouped Unread, Reading, Read [ per user]
• Priority order
  • this would be if you allowed the user to drag and reorder the book entries, but obv would require more infrastructure than simply supporting the grouping options above

Rationale: If there are dozens of books in the Challenge and I've read some number and maybe have a couple others in the middle of Currently Reading, it's fiddly to either easily see the ones I've done, or to see which ones are still to be read.

It's possible this suggestion is mostly of use for a Challenge which is to Read a Number of books from a selection.

At the moment a Challenge either has an open date range (and goes forever) or has a fixed date range.

Many challenges are really recurring challenges, such as a yearly challenge or a monthly challenge.

This suggestion is that the date option allows for turning the challenge into a recurring challenge.

The simplest form would be allowing an extra set of radiobuttons next to the date range (which can't be open) to not recur (default, as now), recur monthly or recur annually. The challenge title would then be suffixed.

Eg.
I create a Christmas Challenge to read 2 books (Number Challenge) and for the date range I might put Dec 15 -> Dec 31, and I select the radio button option of Recur Annually.
This creates a Christmas Challenge (2026) for this year. Next year it would auto create a new one called Christmas Challenge (2027).

I love scrolling the news feed and seeing what others have been up to but I’m not super interested in seeing my own reading there as events. I keep thinking that someone I know is reading the same book as me. I’d love to be able to toggle myself off there :)

I wish for additional social media icons for links outwards to other social media than just the big US-american proprietary ones.

Especially for the Fediverse, (Mastodon, Pixelfed and others) which i use since Meta and X started going downhill in usability and political influence.

But also some others which are important for book influencers, to their blogs or newsletters like from steady or ghost or patreon would be nice.

I know i can already set a link, but its sad not to have the icon.

Can you add a quick link to 'recently read books' on the main page or in the quick access bar? I feel like I have to click a bunch to get to that page and I go there a lot.

I'd love to be able view stats for the books i own physical editions of seperately from those I own audio or digital editions of. A secondary drop down or set of radio buttons for format would be amazing. Just generally adding more filters to the stats pages, like the ability to exclude certain tags etc. would be great too!

I often make a challenge in order to visually see how far through my physical TBR, or planned reads I am, but I find it quite time consuming to create challenges and add each book to them. I'd love to be able to filter my TBR and add all results (or first 50 or something if you need to cap the number of challenge prompts) to a challenge. for example, filtering TBR by owned hardbacks, maybe with a particular genre or tag, and add them to a specific-book challenge.

It would be nice to be able to chose specific pages of a book instead of just going chronologically for if it's a short story or essay collection, as lots of people don't always read them in order or in one go.

I would love to have a bit more control over what I share on my community feed. Mostly thinking of being able to opt out of sharing "Up Next"s, as well as "separate" ratings (i.e., books I have rated days/months after I have marked it as completed).

Hey!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched a few terms and couldn't find this specific issue.
On the app (android), I am often accidentally liking my own reading status updates when trying to find out who liked them because the number is so small beside the heart icon.
And example is attached in the screenshot. Here I've liked my own status by accident when trying to tap the number beside the heart. I know I can unlike it again but I just keep repeating this mis-tapping, maybe even a little distance between them would help.

Or add it as a new option, thank you!

My husband and i each have the app! I would like if he could see or is we could share the owned books section. thanks!

Currently you can use the exclude tags function to filter out specific tags, but sometimes I forget to tag a book when I finish reading it, and it'd be nice to be able to filter my read books to show only books that have no tags on them so I can work through them to add tags. But my tag list is too long to add them all to the excluded list manually... Maybe an 'all tags' option in the drop down for exclusion?

Either a calculator tool using pages left to read in a book and a date, or be able to designate a book for a book club and see at a glance how many pages you need to read by the meeting to be caught up. I do this by hand and frequently recalculate, I wonder if it's a tool that others would find useful? I do in person book clubs so I'd want that to be an option for such a tool.

I'd love a way to select each of the tags I want to include in a chart by selecting them all from the drop down list in one go (like you can when adding them to a book), instead of having to add a new segment then select the tag for each one, sometimes I end up selecting the same tag multiple times. Even just having the options already added to the chart greyed out so you know you've already added them would be helpful!!

This add review link leads to a new page but it makes leaving reviews and ratings more difficult/inefficient. Would be nice if it kept you on this page like marking read or owned is.
