Filter reading challenges
Medium-term
Jul 25, 2021
Sometimes I'm in the mood for a reading challenge that's just a week or a month long, it would be nice to have a filter to find challenges like that. Perhaps combined with a "starting soon" option to filter out the ones that are already coming to an end.

This is the filter from the "popular this week" list - it allows you to remove books already in your TBR, it would be great if we could also remove books we already read as an additional tab. But having that as a filter option would be great across developed filters. Thanks!
eva_hnsn This post is for filtering reading challenges, not books! In any case, it's intentional that "Read Books" show up in PTW, as we're trying to show you the official top list as it stands, and we don't have the filter option there as on all the other views/sort options, read and DNF books are automatically filtered out!
It would also be great if we could filter challenges by number of participants, sometimes its hard to sift through reading challenges that are more individual created for themselves vs finding the larger reading challenges created by bookstores, movements, etc.
eva_hnsn That's part of the plan!
Adding to this: I would also like a sorting way, because I make a lot of reading challenges myself and it would be great to sort them better.
a_robin_reads What sort options would you like?
Nadia For example my TBRs for every month, I want to have them together. Also my TBRs for every genre together. And ones I use the most at the top. (you can go to my profile to see what I mean and how many reading challenges I make haha)
Nadia dusts off topic I would also like the option of sorting reading challenges by end date and by how complete they are. Maybe also by how many books I've added already. :)
bearpolar Hehe. Don't worry about this one being forgotten. It's a necessity (but it's also scheduled on the main roadmap — so it definitely cannot be forgotten). In any case, it looks like you're talking about something different, which is sorting your own reading challenge dashboard, as opposed to filtering to find new challenges to join?
We've wanted to add filters to the reading challenges since January. The ones we've got planned are duration, number of participants, and number of prompts!
We had thought of a date range, but I like the concept of "starting soon" or perhaps even "ending soon". Imagine that last one combined with like a 1-5 prompt challenge!
This would be SO helpful! So many challenges are set to the calendar year, but when you're someone like me (read: not particularly into the whole "new year, new me" mentality until far too late in the new year), you don't get your act together quickly enough to join those challenges/make the most of them. I really only want to see challenges that I could feasibly join!
