    ability to rearrange books in the plan section

    As far as I can tell, the edits in the plan are limited to adding and deleting books from a particular month. In order to move a book to a different month, you have to delete it from the month where it exists, search for it again and add it to the new month. It's clunky and frustrating, which disincentivizes using the feature as a fluid compliment to the TBR.

    if a 'drag and drop' is problematic on the back end, perhaps a menu item can be added so that 'Move' is an option when editing the month? I believe this would also open up the other feature I wrote about to include 'plan' as an option when saving books to shelves (if an 'add to plan' button defaulted to the current month, rearranging it wouldn't be an issue).

    Pagebound Website Dark Mode/High Contrast Mode

    This is a request stemming from the accessibility club discussion post. The main request is for the webpage to include a dark mode/high-contrast mode option for accessibility. But if that takes a lot of time, could users get better compatibility with dark mode/high-contrast browser add-ons until an official dark mode/high-contrast mode is created?

    Users shared that browser dark mode/night mode add-ons did not work well with Pagebound's website. Certain images do not change into a dark mode alternative. For example, the pastel-gradient wavy design that fills the top-right half of the Feed webpage and the fuzzy colour image behind the "Discover", "Books" button, "People" button, "Quests" button, and "Lists" Button on the Discover webpage. I've attached a screenshot below of the main feed webpage in the default dark mode settings to show the compatibility issues. This is on Google Chrome with the Dark Reader extension.

    Screenshot of pagebound feed webpage with a dark mode browser extension

    Many users with accessibility needs use the webpage on their phone's browser at the moment, so improving the website's compatibility with add-ons will help users even if they don't use dark mode. Some of the add-ons used include dark mode, GIF stoppers/pausers, and bionic readers. I would also like to add that dark mode doesn't necessarily mean a black background with white text, but rather focuses on contrast and, overall, a muted colour palette. Obviously, a dark mode will not help all disability needs, but the choice will be greatly appreciated.

    šŸ”—Example of a Website with a Migraine Mode The toggle button is on the top banner next to the search area on the website and can be accessed by clicking the top right corner and scrolling to the bottom on a phone browser.

    Thank you!

  • Feed Update pt 2: Choose your feed preferences

    Update! We got mixed feedback about the new feed changes (removing spoiler posts & comments from people you follow if that book is not in your library), so this is now a setting in your preferences that you can turn on and off. The default shows all activity from people you follow, and if you want the more customized feed you can toggle this setting off under Settings -> Preferences (you can only find this setting on web right now, but your feed setting will apply to both web and app feeds. The toggle will be in the next app release).

    Some people really love the change and feel their feed is less overwhelming and more tailored to them, while others felt they missed out on what their friends were discussing and enjoy the discoverability aspect of seeing new-to-you book posts in their feed. Hopefully this update addresses everyone's needs!

    Populate plan from lists

    Hey guys. Thanks for your time in considering this. I tried to see if this had been requested already and while there was something similar I couldn’t see exactly this.

    Just wondering if we could populate our plans from our TBR? Like along with ā€œadd bookā€ could that have the option of bringing up our TBR so we can add directly from there?

    Thanks :)

    Add more than 5 books to a list before hitting "create"

    Hi! I searched and didn't see this, but I apologize if this has already been requested. I definitely agree with a minimum number of books to start a list, but I was wondering if it would be feasible at some point to be able to add more than the initial 5 books to a list before publishing it/making it live and viewable by others.

    Typically when I make a list, I have more than 5 books in mind, and (this may be a me problem) while I love getting suggestions of books to add, to my anxious brain, it sometimes feels like a race against the clock to add the books I had in mind to the live list before folks comment suggesting the same ones.

  • New notification update

    I just wanted to say this new update that sorts your notifications by unread at the top is a LIFESAVER for this ADHD girlie!! šŸ˜­šŸ˜ I didn’t know I needed this quality of life perk but I’m so glad it’s here. No more scrolling through a bunch of notifs anymore to find the ones I forgot. Anyone else loving this feature?

    Jennifer and Lucy you are amazing and we appreciate you! šŸ˜šŸ˜

    Notifcation Sorting

    i’m not sure if this has been brought up before, i searched but didn’t see anything! i’m sorry if i’m repeating anything!

    i was wondering if it could be possible to sort notifications by replies, likes, and follows - and mentions, once those are implemented? sort of like how twitter and similar platforms have done it, all under the same tab but with the option to sort.. sometimes i miss replies when a post gets a lot of likes! i completely understand if that’s not doable!

    Mark notifications as read/unread individually

    It would be amazing to be able to mark individual notifications as read or unread, rather than all at once! When getting lots of new notifications e.g. due to a level-up, I would love to be able to clear all those without losing the ones that I want to come back to, e.g. comments in book forums. Or sometimes, I open a notification, realise this will require some brain power to reply to adequately but am afraid of "losing" it among other notifications. This could be done, e.g., by double tapping or holding down on app, having a blue dot as a toggle, or a three-dot menu on each notifications, whichever is easiest in the backend. I hope this is clear and thanks in advance for considering it! :)

    Sort Comment Notifications by Oldest First

    Again, I want to acknowledge that I’m not sure how feasible this request is from a development standpoint. I also tried looking through the existing feature requests, but if this has already been suggested, I apologize for the duplicate.

    I’d love the ability to sort comment notifications from oldest to newest.

    When I come back after being away for a while, I often have a large backlog of notifications. Having the option to view comment notifications chronologically would make it much easier to work through conversations in the order they happened instead of trying to piece discussions together from the newest notifications backward.

    Right now, I usually wait until I have enough time to scroll all the way back to the oldest comment notification and work my way forward. The problem is that as new notifications come in, they shift everything around, making it easy to lose my place or accidentally skip over comments.

    I think this would make catching up on conversations much more manageable for users who are active in the community. Thanks for considering the suggestion!

    Filter for Not Owned Books

    Would it be possible to add a filter in our shelves for books we do not own (to complement the Owned toggle that already exists)? Seeing which books I own is helpful in terms of prioritizing a physical TBR, but I would love to be able to filter for Not Owned books to get ahead of which books I should put holds on at the library.

    Bookshelf Grid View

    Hi there! Would it be possible to implement a grid view when looking at the shelves in our library? Even if it’s something like being able to toggle from list view to grid view, I think it would be awesome!

    There are so many beautiful covers out there and I would love if we could organize our shelves to show us a tidy little grid that focuses on cover art. :)

    Thank you for your time! ā™”

    More Filters in Library

    Would it be possible to filter "Interested" by review/rating?

    I have so many in my library I don't know where to start. Filtering by rating or length of book would really help

  • Two ā€œCan I Do This On Pageboundā€ Questions

    I’ve poked around in the FAQ and done some PB Club searches and haven’t found any answers so I’m just going to ask both the questions that have been bothering me here!

    1. I have a couple of books that I’m reading whose covers still show as ā€œCover Unavailableā€ placeholders when the covers (and the books themselves!) have very much been released. Is there any way to update this?

    2. Is there any way to customize the order of a list? For example, I’m putting together a curated list that I’d specifically like to present in publication order. Is there any way to do this without specifically adding the book in publication order? And if I want to add another book later and retain publication order, do I need to delete everything off the list and re-add the books in the correct order again, or is there a way to insert a book into the middle of a list?

  • Quick feed update!

    Hi all, I'm doing a bunch of quality of life improvements right now and wanted to let you know ahead of the next founder announcement that some feed changes just went live. In an effort to make your feed more interesting and include content you can actually interact with, the following changes were just added:

    When you mute a book from your feed, it will also mute comments & posts created by people you follow for that book

    You will not see spoiler book posts from people you follow if that book is not in your library

    You will not see comments made on book posts from people you follow if that book is not in your library

    Hopefully this makes your scrolling more relevant to you! You can always see every post and comment from someone you follow in their book journey (when you click on a book, tap on "Activity from people you follow" and click the map icon next to someone's username)

    Search Other People's Shelves

    Similar to the feature request to be able to search our own shelves, I would also like to be able to search other people's shelves as well. For some very specific context, whenever I see a post asking for recommendations, I like to go to that users profile and do a quick skim through their Finished shelf with an eye out for any books that I also have marked as Finished; if I see that they haven't read the book I want to suggest, then I can feel confident recommending the book knowing that it's a fresh suggestion. However, if they have read hundreds and hundreds of books then it's tedious and I'll just give up and throw my recommendation into the world regardless.

    I'm not sure if this feature would fall under the existing request to search our own shelves, so please reject as duplicate if it's already going to be included!

    Search Within Library Sections (TBR, Finished, Interested etc.)

    I wish we could be able to search within our library sections such as TBR. I have over 1000 books on my TBR for example so it's hard to remember which I have added and which I have yet to the list.
