Books published before 1970 will not have an ISBN. It would be ideal for there to be a Library of Congress control number (LCCN) field for those books where the LCCN is published in the front matter.

When importing a CSV of books it would be nice to be able to click the flag button and manually match the book.

I would like to expand who I'm following based on similar tastes. If there can be an option to see other readers with lots of shared reads and/or genres, that'd be awesome. I sometimes rely on my Activity Feed for inspired TBR's.

Adam R is currently planning work on this feature and it is one of the things we are looking to ship this year. More details to come!

Just wanted to share that this is one of the things that Adam is actively working on at the moment! More details to come.

Have books display their rating in their top most tag/genre
for example #17 Thriller
I am not sure by what metric tags should be sorted, trending? reads? interactions?

Also maybe don't show if it's tag with the highest position is too low, say over 100

Really love Hardcover but do some book search and track progress sometimes right from my kindle scribe. So it will be great to get changes, even from my goodreads profile page to hardcover.

Currently if you have dark mode set when you reload the page it flashes white while loading.

Ensure that date entry fields (e.g. on the add edition) are displayed using the users browsers i18n settings. Currently you seem to only show the American one, which is pretty different to the majority of places in the world.

Have the ability of generating named API keys that can be revoked individually (for different projects)
And also have the ability to scope the perms on the keys, for example only allow searching and getting info on books, or only allowing updating the journal, etc.

If you are currently reading a book with multiple read dates and it is on a list, the list counter (read/added) doesn't add it up. It might be a personal preference but shouldn't it count as read?
The list in the screenshot has a DNF and a currently reading book.

Help find readers of a specific language, for example all Italian-speaking readers, to make it easier to find people to follow.

It would be neat if there was an 'Haitus' button as a reading status.

A ton of manhwa/manga authors go on Hiatus (and some take a long time).

Thank you.

Add a quotes page for each user that collects all the quotes they have saved to their reading journal while reading any book.

Ideally the page would be sortable in reverse chronological order or by book and/or author.

Having an option to hide the page would be beneficial since not all users may expect or want their quotes to be public.

When writing chapter notes or some other highlight or quote in my Journal, I should be able to instantly share on Bluesky and Mastodon

I would like to find my friends that are on:

• Goodreads
• bookwyrm
• Storygraph
• Mastodon
• Bluesky
• etc

And add them here if they are on here.

I DON'T want to upload a bunch of emails or PII to out my friends. Only people that are already public on the social web

Within the Upcoming Books Page.

the ability to filter books based Genre / Author / Page count if available.

A little bit more complicated but if its being released physical / digital / audio

If a book doesn't have a cover, the API simply doesn't return the image value, which is fine, but I'd love to use the "back up" images the main site uses instead. So perhaps return a key, generatedCover, or backupCover, or always return the image value, and have a flag that could be checked (in case the developer doesn't want to show the backup cover)

The ability to add related links to books would be cool, such as the homepage of the book, an online place to read the webcomic, etc.

Webtoons especially don't have pages, but chapters instead. Being able to specify either chapters or pages would lead to less confusion

Would be cool to add an option to import a series by Anilist or My Anime List id, just like goodreads

Currently we have "Want to Read, "Currently Reading" and "Read"

Now, I want to add some books, such as manga volumes and textbooks, but they're so different from any other market books that I don't want them on my Read list. I mean, I'll mark them "Read" but they shan't show up there, rather in my custom groups.

In the screenshot of anilist I attached, I see if I "Hide from status list" an entry, its no longer visible in the original status group. But if I add that to other custom lists, they show up in that new group.

It would be greatly helpful for me to add more books.

currently the bc date format is something along the lines of "-300" I would prefer if it would be changed to something like "300 B.C." instead.

I frequently forget to set the Date Read when I finish a book and rate it. It would be helpful if Hardcover automatically set the finish date to today's if I haven't previously rated a book. However, I wouldn't want it to change the finish date if I come back later and re-rate a book.

This would allow browsers that also support the protocol to easily add hardcover as a search engine, accessible directly from the search bar or under a flag.
This would simplify browsing and interacting with the site on desktop search engines, or for power users.
