Hello! Would it be possible to add a second box in the reading updates for chapter so that it automatically fills in like the page number or percentage does? Or adding chapter as an option in the dropdown? I don’t know about anyone else, but I tend to interact with updates based on the chapter I’m on vs the page/percentage

Hello! Are there any plans to allow for posts that are more general in nature, rather than specific to a book/club/quest? A big draw on goodreads and fable for me has been the ability to create and interact with posts made in the main feed such as general reading posts, reading updates (about reading in general, not thoughts on a book), inspiration to get out of reading slumps, etc. Just curious if this is something Pagebound is expected to have at some point!

Some interesting context on R.F. Kuang - she was actually at Oxford getting her Masters in Contemporary Chinese Studies while writing Babel. She's also a Chinese-English translator and linguistics student. After I read Babel for the first time, I hunted down a bunch of interviews with Kuang on her writing process for Babel since it tackles so many huge subjects with nuance and skill, and was pretty unsurprised to learn that she studies translation and linguistics. But having the context of her LITERALLY sitting on Oxford's campus, getting her masters in chinese studies while writing this book really puts the cherry on top for me. I feel like we get bits of her thesis and coursework in the book - you can tell she was immersed in these subjects while writing (cough cough the footnotes). Also, her love for Oxford shines through on the page (well, in the first half) and she does explicitly say in interviews that Babel is a sort of love letter to Oxford for her.

Hello Pagebound community! 👋 Meredith here, your friendly neighborhood software engineer and emoji aficionado, helping Jennifer & Lucy build out the Pagebound website. I've been behind the scenes working through our backlog of new features and site improvements, but now I'm excited to share this week's updates with you 🤩 ➡️ You may have already noticed the biggest change we launched this week - an overhaul of our main navigation! 🗺️ We found that it was getting a little overwhelming to have so many items in our navbar, so we've kept Library, Discover, and Discuss there for easy access to your main actions and incorporated Lists, Clubs, and Quests into your profile instead. ➡️ Speaking of, check out the lovely new design of our profile pages! 🎨 We heard your feedback about wanting to more easily see what other users are up to on Pagebound, so we redesigned the profile pages to better do so. Head over to Discover > People and click on someone's profile to check it out! Note that you'll also find your own Lists, Clubs, and Quests on your profile page as well, so head there to manage your items. ➡️ We've also tweaked the design of the book pages to remove the confusion of the tabs and more easily see the juicy discussion. 📚 Now, to access the forum and reviews for a book, click "View all posts" or "View all reviews" in the previews of those sections, or click the shortcut at the top page under the star reviews. In addition to those main changes, we also added the ability to sort the books in your library via a dropdown on mobile and in showcase view on desktop (where you can also use list view to do even more robust sorting). Lastly, we were able to do a big book de-duplication to keep our database of books clean 🧹 Thanks to everyone who pointed it out when they spotted these 🕵️ That's it for now! We love hearing from you as we're building Pagebound so as always, please continue to share your thoughts or feedback with us. (As a software engineer, I can say it is truly special to read feedback directly from you, and then work on it -- that same week in some cases! 🧑‍💻) And if you're enjoying Pagebound, show off your profile to a friend so that they can sign up and join the discussion, too! 💁 Happy reading, Team Pagebound 💜💙

Hello again! I’m loving all the recent updates to pagebound! It’s been so fun discussing books with others in real time without being forced to choose one specific book. Lately I have noticed that pagebound seems to be zoomed in, forcing me to scroll left to right on mobile to see the full screen or even read a post/comments. This was never the case so I’m not sure if it is user error or something that was changed recently. I also noticed that it is difficult to navigate to clubs from a post. When a post says that it is posted from “club name”, clicking that name does not do anything. I have to click on the post and then the “back to forum” button (even though I was never in the forum in the first place) OR there is no button at all and I have to navigate to the club from my profile/search. My last thing is a request for date and/or time stamps on posts and comments. Right now I’m relying on memory to know if I’ve seen a post in my feed because I can’t tell if it was posted since the last time I logged in. Looking forward to future updates and more users experiencing this awesome community!!

I’ve looked everywhere I can think of for how to add tags and I’m wondering… is the feature is incomplete or am I just not finding it? Thanks in advance for the help. 💜
