Make books-per-star-rating listing easier to find (and adding filters)
Aug 13, 2021
Whenever someone asks me for books I particularly liked recently, I need to go to Profile > Stats > [click on a high star rating in the bar graph] > scroll through the list to look for relevant genres. It has to be one rating at a time, too, since the bar chart doesn't let you open each one in a new tab.
I think most people who use Storygraph probably have no idea that bar chart is even clickable, and I've read in a different card here that you don't want to add rating filters/sorting to the Read pile. Finding book recs for other people is a really major use case for me, though. Could you perhaps consider adding filtering to the books-by-star-rating list, and making that list easier to find?

We currently have a "do not recommend" shelf at our library, and I was just yesterday trying to find my lowest rated books on Storygraph to jog my memory what to put there. It wasn't easy! So yes, I would love to find books I've given a low or high rating recently much more easily!
Hi Christy. Can you please link me to the post where we said we don't want to add rating filters/sorting, because we're not averse to adding it for a user's own ratings at all, so I might need to update something that's previously been said. We're only wary of putting too much emphasis on the community ratings in certain places, given the ethos behind our app! Thank you for the feedback here. We're also going to make it easier to filter your own reviews by your star ratings.
