We will enforce a 100 book cap on Main Quests and introduce additional badge tiers as Quests grow (example: Ruby at 25 books, etc)

Use markdown like || this || to indicate inline spoilers

I saw that we’re getting the || spoiler || function so I’m excited about that! This request is in the same vein, but would it be possible to have a “Click to read more” option in review posts? Totally fine if not - I’ll just use the || function if this doesn’t align with anyone’s wants or if the coding is difficult.

For example, some reviews could have non-spoiler and general “this is how i feel about the book” parts in the beginning (maybe to entice others to read/not read the book) and then they could click to reveal the spoiler parts at the end of the review under a “read more” function à la tumblr style.

I’m only just starting to explore this app and am already obsessed. One thing I noticed was when I was starting to make lists, I wished there was a way to make “sub-lists” so for example PEN’s Banned Books and then within that list make a sub-list for 2023-2024, 2024-2025, etc.

I have no precise idea what it would look like but I think it would be very useful to have a way to notify on Pagebound that you are re reading a book - maybe by creating a new shelf, a « re-reading » shelf? Or an entirely new button? The only way I can think of right now is putting the book in and out of the « finished » shelf. But then I don’t know if it shows on the « book journey » that you started reading this book a second time.

There are some books that I and others may read for personal reasons (i.e., therapy, schooling, family, etc.) that I would like to still count towards my yearly goal and show up in my private library, but not for everyone else to see. If I add read dates to avoid the activity card, it will still show up when people click on my library, look through the books I read this year, or go to that book's page and see my name, and it would be lovely to be able to hide a book from the public facing side of my profile without losing it as a book counting toward my yearly goal (or any quests it might be in, if possible).

Ultimately, this could look like a private "currently reading" status that would automatically hide the book from all of these places, but I would be happy with just a toggle like the owned toggle that privates the book and hides it from these places if that's easier to code and integrate. If quests are the hard part, I would rather have the ability to private a book but lose a badge and be able to make that choice myself than not have the option at all.

I see so many posts and comments that recommend or otherwise reference books. Being able to tag those books would be really elegant. That would avoid title mistypes and extra steps of searching for books. It would also make books more discoverable.

Currently, the only way to view another user's progress is either the discuss page or their reading journey. I would love to be able to click into someone's profile to see what their last logged percentage was, particularly when I'm doing buddy reads—it could be shown exactly like it's shown at the top of the home page with the yellow progress bar, but below the books in the "Reading..." section.

(For additional context, I'm primarily a site user, so it feels like a little more work for me to pull up someone's reading journey, as I have to switch devices entirely. I might feel a little less desire for this once web/app parity is achieved, but I still think it would be helpful.)

Currently, there exists an option to discover similar users based on having one « My Taste » book in common.

It would be nice if, in addition, there existed a discovery section where users are ranked by overlap %. Perhaps with a filter for users you follow.

Save current progress on a book. When posting in the forum about that book, default to current progress so you don’t have to retype your progress. The reverse should also be true: a post on the forum should update your progress on the book if post progress is greater than book progress.

I want to be able to update my progress on a book from the book itself, not just from my Home Screen.

When I set my yearly reading goal I decide on a certain number of pages rather than a certain number of books so that I'm not prioritizing shorter books. It looks like currently you can only set your reading goal as a number of books, but I'm wondering if you could add the option of setting the goal at a certain number of pages?

Thanks!
