Allow audiobook users to use chapter # in buddy read comments

I started using Buddy Read, and noticed there's only 2 options for tracking your progress in the comments (time spent and percentage of book read so far). I'd like to be able to mark what chapter I’m referring to, as sometimes I am not as attentive to what time in the book I’m at (Audible doesn't make it easy when you're listening on 2x speed). I use multiple apps to listen to books (mostly Libby, Audible and Spotify), and they all track your book progress differently.
Comments
You could try doing a readalong instead of a buddy read. In a readalong you create forums, you could make a forum for each chapter. That way you could keep comments related to each chapter separate from each other without having to know exactly what time it corresponds to in the audiobook.
tina There's so much more overhead to set one of those up though. This is a different feature request haha, but I'd love it if there was more of a "wizard" where it asked you "how many chapters in book? how many chapters per forum?" and created it for you. If I'm just doing a buddy read with less than five people, I don't always want to take the time to set up all the forums and the buddy reads are a nice way to do that.
