    Users followed at top of search results OR searchable following list

    Right now it's kind of tedious to find a user that you follow to go look at their profile. When searching for a user in the general search with their name, often many matches come up. It would be awesome if any users you already follow could be prioritized for listing first in those search results. Alternatively, I think the same need could be met by adding a search bar within your profile's following section to find the right user there. Not sure if there's anything that would make one feature preferable to the other?

    Book covers on book's own page

    I always tend to click on the book cover on the books page to see it better, would it be possible to do some kind of pop up so you'd be able to see the cover better/bigger?

    Add Progress Bar to Plan

    I have absolutely loved having the new progress bar on my personal shelves, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add it to the plan for each month/year. I find the progress bar quite motivating to get through a shelf, so having it on my plan to complete all of the books I set out to complete in a given month would be an awesome additional motivator to stick to my plan.

    See overlap on follower list

    When we get to see our list of follows or followers, it would be nice if we could see the overlap amount in our following list. I'd like to be able to look at who I have the most overlap with, without having to do the back and forth between my list and their profiles

    List search / sort

    Clicking on the arrow next to "popular lists" or "new lists" leads me to "browse all lists" that seems to be sorted by date created. But there's no other ways to sort the lists or search them.

    Re read feature

    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.

    Link Activity from People You Follow to Their Review

    I would love if when I click on the list of people who have finished a book under "Activity from People You Follow" if I could then click on a user's rating and be taken to their review.

    Right now we can filter reviews on a book's page to people we follow, but I would imagine as follow counts grow it could take a bit to find a specific person's review.

  • AI..?

    Isn't the cover of Sugar by Mia Ballard AI art? And potentially some of the writing too?*

    *please see the comments--this is all speculation at this point!

  • Move the pagebound newsletter off substack?

    I guess this is the best place to ask this?

    Been wondering more and more why pagebound chose to use substack despite all it's known wrongs and supporting... Very very bad stuff*. Is there a reason the newsletter won't move to something like Ghost? So many people have migrated over to Ghost and it's been going very well apparently.

    I love reading the newsletter, but would love to see less support for a platform that chooses to support some of the worst things there is.

    *Edit since some were wondering what exactly: Substack themselves have said they will not remove or demonetise extremist, nazi, anti-vax, etc content from their platform because they don't believe in doing that. And they're more than happy to take their share of the money that content brings in. A lot of nazis who have been banned on like every social media found a haven on substack where they have massive platforms

    I have a couple of suggestions of books that fit this theme:

    • Julie Chan is Dead, Liann Zhang
    • Count My Lies, Sophie Stava

  • Starter Pack Vol II just released !

    Hi all, we just released Vol II of the Starter Pack Quests! The Starter Packs are intended to be guided challenges for the genre. Vol I includes a mix of extremely popular titles and books that are considered foundational, for both new readers and readers that are new to the genre. If someone were to say "I wanna get into Romance, where do I start?" Vol I would be the place to start!

    Vol II is for those ready to dive a bit deeper past the blockbuster hits. These books are still popular but you'll find more diverse and niche titles in Vol II (we had a lot more wiggle room without the Vol I constraint of including certain authors and titles that are "cannon" for that genre!)

    Hope you guys enjoy the new Quests :) PS - you can filter for Start Pack quests specifically on the Browse Quest page, and if you want to see just the new Starter Packs, you can sort by Newest

  • How to see someone's reading journey (Solved)

    When I see "Activity from People You Follow" and some of them have DNF'ed the book, I would love to be able to click the map icon from there and see any posts leading up to the decision to DNF. Where is the map icon? I can never seem to find it.

    Do I have to navigate to the person's page and then try to find it?

    Sorry if it's very obvious.

    EDIT: Turns out it doesn't work on the website, only on the app. Insert crying emoji here because I primarily use the website.

    Change auto-populated books in search

    (I’m on the app.) When I go to search for any book, I get a pre-populated list of books. They seem like a most-finished list, maybe? Among them are blockbuster YA books and HP. Seeing those same books over and over implies endorsement (even though I suspect it isn’t). Would it be possible to change the list that populates? Maybe to the books with the most forum posts today so it directs people to the conversation? Or books that show up in the most lists?

    Approved - Will Do ✅

  • 32 new avatar colors are live!

    We just released 32 new color variants of our current avatars, focusing on increasing the skintone range of our human-like avatars. Some of the more popular avatars, like the ghost, dragon, and alien, have more colors also :) We'll be coming out with more colors and brand new avatars soon!
