Progress bar on currently reading book | Feature Requests

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!🏆

Released

Hello! We have released our new dashboard feature, which is accessible for browser users on Hardcover's home page, and for mobile users by clicking the "home" button in the bottom left. This dashboard comes with a "currently reading" section where you can see your currently reading books with a progress bar.

In progress

This capability is currently under development, supporters have early preview to it via the dashboard link in the discover drop down. The intent is that the dashboard will be available for all users.

Hello! We do have some plans to create a new "reading dashboard" homepage with customisable widgets. The current designs also include the status/progress of your currently reading books so I'll keep this one feature request noted for that feature.
