Are you the type of person to comment or post more on Pagebound?

Personally, I've noticed I comment MUCH more than I post. Sometimes I don't post for a book at all. I only do so when I have something to say. Meanwhile, I feel like comments spark much more discussion (imo ofc) bc sometimes I can't exactly explain my point on a book, but then someone might make a post on it, then I can engage with it properly. It just makes it easier for me, if that makes sense. When the forum's empty, I feel like I'm talking to myself sometimes tho. 😭

Hi everyone, we've just released a big app update with many quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and some new features. These are all available on web as well. Please make sure your apps are updated to the latest version, 1.1.1, to see these changes! As a reminder, you can check out what we're working on and what's coming up next via the public roadmap (in the footer on web, in the more menu on the app)

Here's a list of updates:

• New Main Quest badge tiers, now viewable on the app
• ability to pin comments to your own posts, lists, and activity
• improved search on app: UI enhancements to make searching for things that are not books easier, removed the auto-populated most searched books from the search widget
• ability to track your progress in Time for audiobooks (HH:MM)
• progress bar / breakdown by status added to Plan
• estimated page count added to book page
• you can enlarge a book cover on the book screen by tapping the book cover
• rereading button (when you go to track a reread, the button says re-reading instead of reading)
• sort reviews by star rating
• filter options on Book Journey
• new search, filter, and sort options on Browse All Lists and Browse All Quests screens
• see more info about your followers and users you follow in the following/followers modals
• changed the button on the home feed "currently reading" books from "post in forum" to "go to forum" for easier access to the forum + encouraging folks to check existing posts!

We're working on monthly wrapups, reading streaks, and some prep for more stats next! We will also be making some additional enhancements to Quests (like: a book recommendations section similar to the Community Recs on book pages, stats for how many users earned each badge tier, and a feed tab like the new feed tab on book pages)

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer + Lucy

An absurd thing for the murderous state to plead for, but, as always, the massive violence of the state was “justice,” was “law and order,” and resistance to perpetual violence was an act of terror.
