If your friend DNF'd a book, the only way you can tell is if you find the review in the popular reviews. It should still tell you if they DNF'd as that's just as important of a signal as if they gave it 5 stars
Adding a link to "mastodon.something" seems to register as a link to mastodon, but mastodon instances (servers or communities, if you wish) are much more diverse than that!
I'm on one which URL is indieweb.social for instance. Which means if you filter your "Who to follow" list by "Linked Mastodon Profile", I will not appear in it although it's a legit mastodon profile.
Ideally adding a link to a mastodon profile should work similarly to https://joinmastodon.org/servers but I get it may be complicated to implement.
Why not let us mark that link as a mastodon community, then?
As in:
I read to my child every night before bedtime. I’d like to keep track of books that we have already read and books that we plan to read. I have thoughts on these books as a parent and would like to rate and review.
But I don’t want any of this spilling into my personal reading. I could probably use lists to track read and TBR, but I don’t think that would help with ratings, recommendations, etc. and would impact my overall reading stats.
I’m not sure if the solution would be a type of subaccount or maybe just some kind of tagging that is filtered out of personal reading.
In the section Readers & Supporters allow to order readers by number of shared reads.
Currently my read, owned or 'current edition' are sometimes on page 4 of the editions, it should be the first edition.
As mentioned in our June 2026 newsletter, Starter Packs is one of our upcoming features:
Starter Packs is another concept from BlueSky we’re working on which will allow you to create lists of users. Also handy for having limited groups with access to specific features (like Book Clubs, which feeds you want to see or managing an author’s page).
As mentioned in our June 2026 newsletter, moderation lists is one of our upcoming features:
Moderation lists steal a concept from BlueSky, and will allow people to create or following existing lists of books, authors and publishers. Books on these lists can be hidden from Hardcover or you can opt to see a warning about which moderation lists they’re on.
I would like a way to quickly identify what books on my Want to Read list are not on my Owned list...either a filter or side-by-side view between the two, or even a simple checkmark or label on the Want to Read list to show me which books I still need to pick up.
When merging books, the search field automatically displays the full title of the book to be merged. Usually you actually need to search a shorter or completely different term to find the canonical book you want.
Doing that right now means scrolling to the right and backspacing (sometimes A Lot) or highlighting to delete, both of which are painful on mobile. Can we have a one click 'clear the field' button?
It would be great if one could set a personal time when the day ends and the next one begins for the purposes of tracking. So that one can finish reading past midnight and log the progress before bed, and the progress is counted toward the day that is already technically ended. Many tracking apps have similar settings.
Unless you're editing the book page, there's no way to see more than the five content warnings that happen to be displayed first. "Not popular" doesn't equal "irrelevant" for warnings - it'd be better not to hide this information.
Can we add an option to expand to see all the warnings on a book?
Add a field to note when an author could be confused with other authors with the same or similar names. Ideally allow linking to the other author/s.
Cleaner and less intrusive than adding a note in the bio where it can be missed, and in the case of authors with 3+ required disambigs that gets unwieldy.
Add an option to do not count rereads in the creation dialog for the Reading Goals
For example when a new book is added create a placeholder entry for major format types
audio, ebook etc.
Personally I would rather have a "placeholder" for these major format types even if it doesn't contain all of the pertinent information about that format.
I use a lot of lists to archive my books (potentially 100s). At the moment only 25 lists are displayed at once meaning you have to use the <next> and <previous> actions. If the list I’m looking for is many pages in then it can be an onerous tasking getting to it. I’d like you to add a selection for viewing 50, 100 or all, as used on many other web pages with long, scrollable items. Or, as the Lists are in Alphabetical order then a column of clickable letters to shortcut you to the start of Lists titled with that starting letter.
Series Tracker, for the All tab, includes unreleased books and series you've read all the books in already. We need a way to be able to filter those out to only see the relevant data, which is what book should I read next.
If we decide we no longer want to read a series, we should be able to hide it from the All tab of the Series Tracker.
When marking a book as Want to Read, there's no way to see from the UI what date that occurred on. My current workaround is to add every title to a list which does generate a journal entry, but this seems like an unnecessary extra step. (Particularly when adding to a large list often fails.)
One of my most important tracking metrics is 'how long has this been on my tbr' and there's no easy way to see that. If not with a journal entry, then with another visible field.
Currently we can filter a given list by the books we already own by going to the List filter and selecting "Owned". But this will show the books we already own from the given list.
I would like to be able to filter out the books we own so that it shows only the books we don't own yet.
For example, we could do this to our "Want to Read" list in order to give someone a link to a list of books they could gift us.
I would be very interested in synchronisation with Storytel/Mofibo. Possibly also Kindle/Audible. To not have to write the books in manually, and be able to automatically track start/stop times. Especially useful, if you have multiple services.
As per the attched, all icons have a dark background except HardCover which really irritates my OCD
Shuffle sort currently seems to sort exactly one way instead of actually shuffling the list each time it is selected.
https://hardcover.app/@{username}/stats shows a preview of stats and a banner notifying:
We still have a bunch of work to do on these to match our vision, but we wanted you to see a preview while in the meantime!
Some data in here might be slightly off, or incomplete. We're working on it
It would be great to have resolving the issues / releasing a fully functional statistics feature / page on the roadmap!
