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!

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.

I guess this is more of a UX request than a feature request, but would it be possible to have a more direct access to our own profile - like an avatar icon at the very top - instead of under the "More" hamburger menu?

Thanks!

It would be great if we could adjust the size of all the text in the app. Combined with the Dark mode request already approved, this would be essential for visually impaired readers. Even better if we could adjust it on the fly by pinching and zooming.

I would be great if when I click on a book I could add it to a list like a library instead of having to be in the library to add a book.

I guess this would be a counter to how many days or weeks you have read a page/percent/minute or more. Like Snapchat in a way, maybe perhaps we could receive badges as rewards or would that get too complex? Otherwise I would like to keep track of how many days I have read in a row and maybe it updates my followers when I reach a certain threshold and they can cheer me on in the comments?

For example, For seven days I read at least one page/percent/minute, and my streak would be seven (if I picked days).

Also if this could be toggled on or off I think it would be great for those who do and don't wanna keep track.

Did my best with the title, and I checked and didn’t see this already requested so hopefully I didn’t just miss it. As of right now, when you edit your reading progress it’s only for the current day. But I know for me (ADHD lol), I’ll read a bit and then get distracted by other things without thinking to stop and edit my progress first. And right now once the day is over you can’t go back and say “I read to this page/percentage on this date”. Would be helpful imo for more accurate stats and frankly accessibility for the forgetful, like me :) thanks for the consideration and everything you do for the app and the community!
