i hope this doesn’t sound too strict! given the past discussions that have been had in pb club, maybe a forum post character requirement would be a solution to those expressing dislike towards a post limit, and bring an understanding of what the forum posts should have to foster community discussion. even as low as 50 character req might help.

for example, some sites won’t let you post a product review unless you’ve reached the 100 character req, which sort of encourages the reveiwer to add more detail about the product they’re reviewing.

this would allow pb users who are usually very brief with their forum posts to add more to what they want to say, or find a post within the forum to comment on if they don’t feel like writing it all out. and this way we might avoid recycled discussion in pb club? 🤞🏼

i know the guidelines are right there but a lot of ppl will definitely skip it or forget during their excitement in finding pb and being able to express their thoughts on their fave books!

After the recent update, swiping right stopped getting me to the previous page (which is an essential function), so I have to scroll upward after getting to the end of a long discussion to press the arrow every time many times while looking up the forum. It’s super annoying given that the menu used to be called while swiping left just recently (so there’s also added confusion). One of the main perks of the app for me was that it usually allows smoother navigation than in the browser but now it’s rather inconvenient (also in terms of the amount of hand movements it requires now). Was there a specific reason from the developers for doing this? If not, I’d like to request for them to be restored.

I double checked that this request hasn't been made before and I couldn't find anything so I would love to suggest having annual book awards.

I know this would be a ton of work for such a small team but I genuinely think that it would be so much fun for the community to get to vote and have our own awards every year. My main idea right now is for J+L or Top Contributors to choose a list of new releases in multiple categories and then have the community vote for their favorite one in each category. I think this would be a great way to highlight books that deserve extra love, generate excitement among the community towards the end of the year, and help people find new books that they may have missed. There could even be a badge for reading all the books that won an award! Thank you for considering.
