Having the ability to see the books represented by the overlap percentage of another user. Possibly functioning so that you can click on the icon that shows the overlap percentage and it shows you the books you share with the other user.

It would make me feel even more connected to other people on this app, and if we’re getting the ability to directly recommend to people that would also help in feeling confident about those recommendations and be able to see if they’ve already read them.

Once again already mentioned before in the TMC chat but I would looooooove a pretty widget for my android screen

Opt-in to allow users to send you book recommendations right in Pagebound. This will allow you to send your friends recs directly

It’s a big ask, and I completely understand if it wouldn’t be feasible, but I wanted to share an idea, but some kind of pre-made topic forums within books.

For example, I recently ended up having a long back-and-forth discussion about lore and worldbuilding with another reader inside a single comment thread hidden under spoilers. It made me realize how valuable it would be if readers could talk about specific aspects of a book (like lore, characters, theories, symbolism, or worldbuilding) in dedicated spaces rather than only within progress comments.

Another possible approach could be allowing users to add topic tags to comments, so conversations could be easier to find and revisit later. This might help deeper discussions grow without getting buried.

But I get this is a complicated one and might be a little more in depth than is needed for some books or some users.

Hi, as a book club based in the Netherlands, our core group has collectively joined Pagebound. It would be awesome to be able to link to a book club page, showing our new members what we're reading, and have them move over to Pagebound as well. For existing members it would be an easy way to find our friends and quickly add book club members we know in real life. I hope this fits your vision!
