Thiiiiis is the feature I've been waiting for since I signed up three years ago. <3 Can't wait!
toucanpie Soweeeee!!
Really hoping for this soon! THe only reason I use some of the other apps is to share my monthly reads in a nice visual format showing the book covers!!
thexennialreader It is on the todo list for this year...but it also was last year...but I really don't want to take this todo into 2024... 😅
Nadia just poking in here for this feature!! I REALLY want to leave Goodreads behind in 2024... But this cover view just keeps me there... Any updates on this?
cajengirl Looking like 2024, I'm afraid!
Very keen on this feature! Is it likely to happen soon?
dvdmgr I wish it was out already! You can keep track of where it is the pipeline from the main roadmap view! This post explains a little bit more about when you might expect things to be done: https://roadmap.thestorygraph.com/changelog/our-public-roadmap-is-live-. The items aren't in any priority order within their respective buckets (Medium Term, Up Next, etc.).
Nadia Thanks, Nadia!
So excited for this feature! I find it super helpful when having a look at everything I've read in a year and being able to have it all on one screen :)
That's certainly part of it! There's also aesthetics at play! And what people want to screenshot! :-D
This is my exact reason! I make monthly wrap-ups that I post on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn - currently I am going back to Goodreads to screenshot from my reading challenge there.
This feels like part of a more general feature for making pages more or less dense. For example, more dense might reduce the font size and white space. It's an interesting UX question whether you want a single scale (less dense <-> more dense) or you want separate controls for cover on/off, font size, white space, amount of data displayed per item ...
