karigan submitted a feature request
Is it possible to add a sorting filter to the feature requests and released roadmap items (or change the default sort) to show by the most recent status update rather than creation date? So all new requests/releases and anything newly updated would be at the top of the list. For example, if the first created roadmap item gets a status update, rather than living at the bottom of the list of requests or released items, it would be pushed to the top of the list.
It can be hard to remember what requests I've seen updates on since I have to scroll through the whole list and remember what each one's status was the last time I saw it.
Also just to make sure I'm being clear, when I say status update, I'm specifically referring to the "Not Yet Reviewed", "Won't Do", etc. tags on the posts, not comments or likes on the request :)

there’s always going to be books out there that you love 99% of it but the ending throws you off
for me, the perfect son by freida mcfadden is just that. after reading it, i gave it a 5 star but since then, i’ve looked back on it and realized it was lower because of the ending. even during my initial read, i was not happy with it but blinded by how much i enjoyed reading it in whole
it really bothers me when books end on cliffhangers and the author never makes a sequel. i don’t need “happy endings” but i want true endings, not something that i’ll spend the rest of my life wondering what happened afterwards

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!

Want to recommend a book for consideration? Please leave a comment here! Keeping book suggestions to this thread helps me keep track of suggestions by containing them to one space.
From the intro thread, books should be: 🌱 Focused on a particular type or a specific plant or fungus 🪴 Engage in ethno/botony, environmental science, mycology, and ecology 🌷 Celebrate the natural world ➡️ Non-Fiction Only
and should not be:
🧑🌾 Gardening or plant/medicine dictionary style content 🐞 Heavily focused on animal or bug life 🍅 History of food or ingredients 🔁 Very similar to a title already included
Books can touch on these things, but should not be primarily focused on them. Books also must have some kind of narrative component; please do not recommend dictionary or encyclopedia style books.
Please also be intentional about the balance of author demographics and the ethical considerations of botany. Recommendations that uplift marginalized voices will be prioritized when I am considering additions. In particular, books that highlight these topics from non-western perspectives are of high interest to me. I would love help with more representation from Africa, Polynesia, the Levant & North Africa, South Asia, Central Asia, et all. with a special emphasis on Indigenous voices from these places over white/Europeans studying those areas.
I really do appreciate recommendations - I would love to know why you recommend a book, too, to help me vet titles. I don't promise to add everything but I definitely will consider everything suggested here.
Thanks for helping me make this quest great!

🌿 Greetings & Salutations! 🌿 I am OhMyDio, a nature enthusiast & I am just so jazzed to be sharing this quest with you! It was super fun to sort through plant books and curate this selection, and I sincerely hope you find some cool Plant Facts™️ among these pages. Let's talk through my goal for this quest, and some housekeeping:
❔ What Is This Quest? ❔ I've opted to curate books that: 🌱 Focus on a particular type or a specific plant or fungus 🪴 Engage in ethno/botony, environmental science, mycology, and ecology 🌷 Celebrate the natural world
My goal is to highlight how wondrous, delightful, strange, unique, and important these living organisms are. I hope that through reading these books you'll grow in your appreciation of plants, mushrooms, moss, and more! These books touch on environmental science, ecology, botany, mycology, and sometimes use nature/plants as framing device for memoirs that explore how we relate to, and exist along side, nature.
❓ What is this quest not? ❓ 🧑🌾 Gardening or plant/medicine dictionary style content 🐞 Heavily focused on animal or bug life 🍅 History of food or ingredients
These are not gardening how-to's or purely reference materials - there is a narrative aspect to these books. To leave room for more natural science quests in the future, we also are not heavily focusing on animals, bugs, or plants/fungi as food ingredients, although books may touch on these things in their scope.
🏡 House Keeping 🏡 I will occasionally be updating this quest with additional books. If you have suggestions for books to add, please see this thread: link and drop your suggestions there. Keeping suggestions in that thread helps me stay organized. Please do not make a new thread with book suggestions to help keep the space tidy.
🌿🌿🌿
As we embark on this quest together I would love to know what about Plant Books™️ gets you excited, and what familiarity you may already have. Are you an avid gardener longing to learn about wild plants? Are you a city-dweller lamenting the cement jungle that surrounds you? Are you new to non-fiction and plant books sound approachable? Let us know!
🌿 Thanks for joining me & Happy reading! 🌿

Hi everyone! We dropped 5 new quests today, shout out to our Top Contributors who spent so much time curating the lists and reading voraciously in their niche to make sure the quest lists are unique, interesting, and emblematic of the theme!
We've seen when Quests are launched, the community chimes in with recs and opinions. Definitely have discussions about the list, but want to kindly remind everyone that the TCs put in a ton of work to curate the lists, and Quests are intended to be slow-growing (with mostly new releases; the work of curating backlist titles was done before Quest release).
Hope everyone enjoys the new Quests, we have some exciting Quest updates to launch very very soon! (new badge tiers....? 👀)

Hey! I know for a fact I read something about it either in the Q&A or in another post, but I can't find my way around anymore- so I apologise in advance if the answer to my question is easily found.
Are there any plans on (or a reason not to) collect the series' of a book? I look specifically at my Manga's, where there are often over 20 of them. Would it not be a good thing to have them under one forum? Or would it be too much work? (I am too tired to formulate myself properly i feel, I hope this made sense 😭)
