Since the page prioritises (logically) English, it would be nice to have a field where the original title of the book appears, in case it is in another language, so that it is still represented.

For example, this is already being implemented in letterboxd, https://letterboxd.com/film/anatomy-of-a-fall/

Limiting privacy settings to “followers only” is meaningless if anyone can just follow you to access your reading history or profile information.

There should be an approval step for followers so you can allow or disallow their access to your information if your account isn’t public.

A setting to hide genre and mood tags by default to avoid spoilers. Moods like "Sad" often spoil a book. For some books even Genre tags are spoilers eg. A dystopian novel that is only revealed as a dystopianear the end of the book.

Could be implemented in the same way Content Warnings are currently blurred.

I would like to write an interpretation or comment the quotes I do add via the journal feature.

I would like to sync my annotations together with Glasp.

The users should have the option to turn automatic export / import on.

Support OpenLibrary with the data the community helps build in Hardcover.

I often like to check the table of contents, so I would support the option to upload it separately as an image or enter it manually.

When exploring books in a bookstore, I usually open a book to read the chapter titles. I would appreciate an implementation where this is available as an additional metadata field.

Manga readers typically search by chapter rather than volume. For example, they might look up which volume contains chapter 1100.

Would love to be able to see my currently reading, goals, etc on the home page of my phone, computer or tablet!

Add Thriller/Mysteries to the search by genre field

During my experience using this site I found it very tedious to not only discuss, but also upvote suggestions.
Sometimes the site fails to upvote suggestions I click the thumbs up button on.

I do propose to switch to https://flarum.org which does the job better than Noora.

This would allow bugs to be tracked as well.

I would like the ability to track when I've experienced a book in both formats - audio and text - rather than having to choose between one format or the other

I often see non-fiction authors quoting books. I propose adding referenced books to book view so readers can quickly add them to their reading list.

I would appreciate if your users are able to disable tracking.

Should we block it with a content blocker the site is incredibly slowing down as well.

I am speaking of bugnsag, Google Analytics and Algolia Search Tracking.

As I haven't made any agreements to the user tracking, I wish this to be made compliant with local EU regulations.

Under Contributions & Authors the foreword option is missing. Currently only admins are able to set it.

Host a public kosync and kobosync server to sync reading progress with Hardcover.

This is for Koreader and Kobo Reader devices

I have seen a few duplicate publishers and authors. It would be great if librarians are allowed to merge those together.

Certain books have workbooks by the same author or different ones:

I propose an option to include such books on the main page

See here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52079141-12-months-to-1-million
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/221992812-workbook-for-12-months-to-1-million

I wouId love summaries being a section on Hardcover book pages.

I do see following options being worth a consideration:

• User submitted summaries with the possibility of up- and downvotes on Hardcover

• Integration of AI to summarize books. This could be a paid feature for supporters on Hardcover. I don't think this can be offered for every book, but the major popular books could be worth AI summaries. Especially for the non-fiction area where this can help readers get a more in depth understanding of what the author is saying.

Any site not offering 2FA in 2025 is bonkers.

Thanks in advance.

Add more options, where you could pair the light or dark mode with a third color. Used for things like buttons or headers on account pages, allowing for folks to feel more customized in their book curating.

I'd love to see a book goal WordPress widget showing our progress for current and past year goals for us Book Bloggers. Even if it's just a simple Html coded one.
I did have one for my #Goodreads account which I've since deleted.
I'm quite sure I'm not the only one that would like to see this.
Cheers,

I just add a book today, and I did not have the specific date it was released, only the year. Might be useful to have year, month and day separetely to let us fill one field or all of them, depending what we know.

Lately, the more people on the app, the LESS answers (well, actually less persons answering) in prompts - probably because the more people, the less community sense.
So a reward system might be needed - or else prompts might fail long term.
Idea 1: badges for a certain number of answers. (Might lead to spamming though, so idea 1.1.maybe the prompt asker could/should rate the answer as useful or not.).
Idea 2: answers should show who gave them, providing some immediate symbolic satisfaction for involvement and also opening an avenue for further community links (who answers well my prompts in my fav genres is clearly worth following, maybe even chat to. Super-answerers might become "influencers").
Thank you!

I used to love this on Goodreads - it would give my day a lift. Or a member could have a favorite quote on their profile.

I was searching for a book but forgot the "The" at the beginning, so it didn't find anything and prompted me to add it. It seems like this would be convenient.
