Ability to Sync with :

• Calibre
• Komga
• Kavita
• Audiobookshelf

This would be awesome

Calendar with what books were read when. Or sortable read book list by month.

Add the ability for any user, not just librarians and supporters, to suggest a tag for a novel from a preset list, then people can upvote/downvote the tags if they think they apply
if it falls bellow a certain threshold it is removed/hidden and if it reaches above a certain amount it is shown on the novel page, not just in the vote page

I would like the option to choose what does or does not go into my feed.

Specifically I don't want my List activity going into my feed. I use lists for organizational purposes and that activity just makes things messy.

I would like to be able to limit it so only my status changes (Want to read/Currently Reading/Read/etc), ratings, and reviews) go into the feed and everything else is left out.

I really don't want to have to manually go through my feed removing those entries every time I make a change. That's a pain.

On Goodreads I have a custom exclusive shelf (status) that I call a wish list. These are books that I am interested in but have not bought or borrowed from somewhere.

Right now I am trying to track this by making a wishlist List, but I still have to assign it a Status so it goes on Want to read. But this means these books are mixed among the books I do have.

What happens is that I scroll through my Want to read books and there is no indication which books I have and which ones I don't. I then have to go into each book to look and see if its on that Wishlist list. Its annoying and frustrating and I find myself returning to Goodreads over and over since I can easily to this there.

I'd love to have this functionality here on Hardcover as well.

Hi! So, I've been using Bookmory for about four years now and I don't need to tell you how much bookish storage I've got in there 😅 I really love the app, but I've found Hardcover by accident and I truly believe it has got potential to become my new fav book tracking app (sorry Bookmory). The only thing that keeps me away from this promising app is that it has got the option to transfer files from Storygraph and Goodreads, but not from Bookmory. Is there any way to change that?

Spoken about this with @Govind.

A "Universe" tag that can be added to books to show that they are part of a given Universe rather than a 1000 book unordered list that groups them all.

Having a Warhammer 40K list is nice in principle, but it doesn't half mess up any meta data pulls I do into Booklore or Calibre, If the actual series that book is a part of isn't the featured or 'top' series it isn't seen (Of course that is an issue with metadata files only supporting 1 series, something I am thinking about trying to fix with an updated format).

In reality Warhammer series can be broken down into groups and then reading lists.

For example the Horus Heresy is a major canonical event. Which has multiple internal series such as The Horus Heresy: Primarchs and The Horus Heresy: Characters and even the Horus Heresy it self can be broken into multiple lists (https://www.kylebb.com/HH/HHSeriesOrder.jpeg) (It's pretty ridiculous, how ever I don't think this request should go that far really) it is then followed on by the major event The Scourge. So in the case of Warhammer, these major events would be the Subgroups that @Govind has spoken about. + another grouping at the end to collect misc books that are not really part of the timeline or a series, but are part of the Universe e.g supplementary material so that series lists arn't taken up with multiple extras.

This extends to something as simple as Dune in my opinion, where there is a Prequel, main, sequel and branching books.

Star Wars simply goes without saying... there is alot.

List could go on and on.

So in Summary:

• A Universe Tag to show a book belong to a Universe such as Warhammer 40K to avoid messy lists.

• A Universe Page, which is editable by Librarians/Admins only (to stop people from changing it to their preferred order). Could contain lists which are tagged as Universe. So that we can create Canonical lists of reading lists. User's own reading lists could appear at the bottom.

• Universe Tag would appear as a Golden Tag between Book cover and first series affiliation.

• Universe page would also have a horizontal scroll of the Authors of the series (Order by number of books they wrote? or by most recently published?)

• Universe tag would also be the first tag attached to a book so that metadata pulls can also have some kind of link between books. At the minute it is very hit and miss, especially when filling in the gaps with other meta data providers.

On the Series tab of an author page, currently series are being included by other authors if both authors have published stories from their own series in the same anthology. For example, Brent Weeks has Moorcock's Elric, Hobb's Elderlings, and Canavan's BM series listed - despite also saying he has 0% authored in the series. If we could only show series where the author has >0 authored it would clean up some display cruft.

As it stands, all books to which an author is a contributor are counted on their author page under the default Books tab.

Exceptions are when a book is marked as a compilation (this show under the confusingly named "collections") or if the contribution is something other than Author (eg. Narrator). These are counted, but aren't actually listed at all. Meaning that on contributor pages of folks who only narrate books, you'll see blank lists.

I suggest that Author pages have the following tabs: Books, Collections, Contributions, and Series.

Contributions would contain any narrated works, forewords, introductions, illustration/photo, etc. while the Books tab would be strictly the Author's own, primary works.

The result being a much cleaner browsing experience.

There is currently no cardinality in series slugs, meaning books by Felicia Day in the series "The Guild" will take you to the series page for "The Guild" by Tate James. (They are not the same thing)

I think it's possible others have mentioned this but goodreads has a really nice feature where you can press, "I've finished this book!" when you're done reading it which is super satisfying. Right now hardcover only allows you to change your book status from currently reading to read, which is a bit anticlimactic. Give me a button to push! :)

As a librarian,
I want to be able to type to search the edition dropdown when editing an edition
So that I can find the language I am looking for more quickly and with less scrolling (save my fingers :)).

In the “Currently Reading” books, I would LOVE to see some reflection of my book progress based on my updates. This was something extremely motivating about Goodreads although their UI is garbage beyond that.
This progress ban can be made much smaller than the Goodreads one; maybe even just a simple line at the bottom of the book cover that fills up in the primary color to indicate how far along you are, or a progress circle that fills up as you get further along.

I’m a UI/UX designer/developer. Would be happy to help out wherever to help get this feature live asap. It’s the only thing keeping me stuck in Goodreads. I absolutely love Hardcover’s overall look and feel and the social feature are well thought out!🏆

On a book that is an anthology or collection, there should be an additional tab which lists the books included in the book. The list will then act as link outs.

On Goodreads I use four mutually exclusive lists; the default three, and 'owned-unread', so that books I own but haven't yet read are visually distinguished from other books I want to read. I'd love if owned was just a property like a checkbox I could filter in/out within 'want to read' though, seems a lot cleaner. It was also super laborious to tag everything as owned - could you possibly implement something during import that maps a given Goodreads list to Hardcover's 'owned' list (or property)?

When viewing my lists/shelves (e.g. 'read'), some of my Goodreads imports are the wrong editions (perhaps because I added them to Goodreads using their asins, and the corresponding goodreads ID lacked an isbn). I'd like to have an option to paste in an isbn to switch editions while browsing editions in the pop-up window in list. Many thanks, and love the site!

Sometimes after re-opening the app on mobile (iOS and Android), it will get stuck on a white screen.

We are aware of this bug, but it's been a bit difficult to try and narrow down a root cause.

The current workaround is to close the app and re-open it.

This is a long-running performance problem that occasionally occurs where the site just goes down. The team is aware of it, and we have been working on putting some monitoring in place so that we can work out the root cause.

It would be nice to have a modal that asks for confirmation of the deletion of an edition when you click on “Delete Edition”, because there's the “Edit Edition” button just above it, and you can accidentally click on the wrong button (this already happened to me 5 minutes ago...).

Ability to Add an official series list (such as murderbot diaries) to my Want to read.

Helpful as the series isn't complete yet (7 of 12 releases next year) so having new additions to that series be added to my list would help keep up with the series.

That and/or a follow series so that you get notified when the official order is edited.

I would like there to be an "Add Edition" button at the top of the edition page.

Follow an author to get notified about any new books of theirs

Series tab in profile. Example:
@profile/books exists so have one for @profile/series for those that have a series. Makes it easier to navigate to books when you want to update the next book in series that one read.

Hardcover has a small and growing user base, though will likely never have the number of users as goodreads (though we can dream!). Therefore, for researching books I find it a lot easier to look at the total score viewed on goodreads, particularly given a lot of the less popular books on hardcover can have very few ratings. It would be great if each book on hardcover displayed the goodreads user score underneath the hardcover user score. This would pretty much require me to never open goodreads again (which would be my dream!)

Android app on Pixel 9. The top controls are behind the pulldown menu. This makes them inaccessible. Is there a way to resize the screen or move the controls?
