I can cope with the American date format if necessary, but putting the month first always seems so weird and unnatural; I have a bit of a mental struggle with it. I don’t normally see it on my computer.

Be able to sync your library on Google play books with hardcover, eg see progress / create a series etc. especially for uploads to Google play books

Exploring new books according to pre-defined limits, like that of a particular shelf in the library (ex: biographies), one or many genres (ex: science biographies) instead of generating recommendations from all the rated books

Would it be possible to get more stats like "Most Read Author/Narrator" or like "Most used tag". Maybe in the future some way to make your own stats? Or hide ones that seem irrelevant to you?

Thanks for all you do!

Seeing other language books/editions that the user doesn't speak is quite cluttering. A setting to hide other languages, or at least filter to only English, for example, would be really useful

The lists are super aesthetic and it would be fun to be able to easily curate the order for some nice looking shelves

There must be hundreds of entries on each of these lists. How are you supposed to find, say, Roleplaying Games, for example, if it's there? It might be, and I'd use it if it is, but I'm not scrolling through page after page to find it.

I tried adding the Mark Norfolk adaptation of Hamlet 978-1-911501-01-5 and was flooded under more than 1000 other Hamlets. Given that I provided the correct ISBN for the particular edition I wanted to add, what should I have done to find the correct instance? It's not at all clear, and I did give exactly the right ISBN

I found the five Jeeves Omnibusesses all seem to have been incorrectly merged into omnibus #4 of the series. When I reported the error, it appeared to go to the 'flag abuse' channel. Wouldn't it be better to have errors in the book database separated from 'abuse' type stuff? Otherwise, please clarify which report button should be used for database errors, books with incorrect covers/titles/misattrabited authors, ISBN errors and stuff like that. Because, of the available options, the 'abuse' button still seemed the least incorrect to me.

A bug, I think. When you select a title and click 'Read' or 'Own' or 'Did Not Finish' the 'read' popup persists and you can't get rid of it. This is a pain when you're trying to select multiple titles because it gets in the way. There are pros and cons to having it persist (on the whole I think it should stay up), but in that case there should be a 'close' control on it and I can't make it close without clicking away from the page entirely and losing my place. This is a PITA when bulk-adding books. Browser; Firefox 128.3.1esr on Linux

The choices are: a beautifully spaced-out list view where you can see at most 6 or so books at once, or a bookshelf view where you can see a front cover image that might be a bit rubbish anyway (including unreadable), and which may not necessarily match the edition you have. I want to be able to see more than five books at a time, and the bookshelf view, while it does show more, isn't very helpful. There should be ample space for a paginated view with 20-30 books visible at once. Like the Calibre ebook reader, for example.

I have read a lot of Asimovs and Pratchetts, so sorting by title shuffles things up gloriously. Can you provide sort by author and /then/ title, please? But also - what about when an author writes under one or more pseudonyms? I don't have many examples in my library but it would be good if that too was handled gracefully.

Again, bulk-adding books, I was just going by title, and on a couple of occasions I added the first match I hit, then later found the edition with the front cover I actually had and wanted to remove the dupe. But the 'remove' book option is not present on that menu - you have to go to your library and remove from there. This is another workflow-killer when trying to add many titles.

I am bulk-adding a bunch of books and I'm hitting some basic annoyances. For example, Pomegranate Sky (Aurora Metro) is not currently listed. If you browse the existing 'Pomegranate' titles to see if it's there, the 'add book' link vanishes! So you have to go back to the initial screen and re-enter the book details. Makes the UI workflow very clunky, esp when you are trying to process many books

I have a tag for the specific amount of editions I own of any book. It would be nice to be able to quickly move/add them to the owned section.

When writing a review, it would be nice to be able to link to another book or author on this site.

Goodreads currently has this feature and it makes it easier to add books to a TBR list.

I've been working on a feature that allows AI to analyze a picture of video/tiktok video/youtube video and gather the book title and book author and have the option to add to your TBR from that data analyzed.

A list where you can log the new words you've learned in books throughout the year!

I have over a thousand books on my shelves, it would be nice to be able to add each to my 'Owned' list by scanning the barcode.

I just imported over 700 books from Goodreads, and I own every single one of them. I'd rather not have to click into each, one by one, and click 'Add to list->Owned'...

It would be great to be able to distinguish between books I abandoned 'forever' (no intention to finish, and those mere 'on hold'. As an almost exclusively non-ficti0on reader, I often pause a book for days, months or even years whist I follow up referred works, but still have the intention to come back to.
Others I deliberately abandoned with no intention to ever read.

A new view tab that combines all books in a series into one row/image. In this tab you could see how many books are in the list and how many are in the series. Maybe an average rating for the series based on your reviews. I think this would be easier to look through then individual books

Take photo of book either in store, friends house, our own bookshelf.

And AI on Hardcover just pulls up the book and then you can add to whatever list.

No manual keyboard entry.

Should work from screenshots as well. So many screenshots of books I've seen on Instagram, upload those and Hardcover just adds.
