Put Guardrails in place to prevent Dupe Authors and Books

If possible, it would be really great if there were preventative measures in place that ensured that users couldn’t accidentally duplicate an author or an existing book, whether through manual editing or bulk imports. I think it makes sense to require manual confirmation input when an action taken will create new items in Hardcover, just to ensure that users don’t accidentally create significant amounts of additional work for Librarians in the long run.

Add manga as a book category

I feel like lumping manga with graphic novels is doing a disservice to both mediums and should be its own category

ability to change book cover image

its great we have the ability to see other editions of books, but I'd love to pick the cover I personally own or my favorite

Add a "finished" button

Bit of a nitpick, but I wish there was more certainty to finishing a book. I always change the percentage to 100% and then change the status to "Read", but that doesn't feel right.

I wish there was some sort of thing that lets me say "Hey, I'm done" and let me have some certainty that I finished the book.

Goodreads and MAL have this and I think its a pretty essential, if small, feature.

Use the cover from the selected edition when browsing

I love being able to select the edition of my choice, but it's frustrating that the image is incorrect in my "Read Books" page. I recently imported my books and am trying to go through and make sure the edition is correct for them but I can't tell at a glance which edition is selected for the book without clicking into it 😭

Filter Out Books With A Low Number of Reviews When Searching BY Average Rating

Whenever you search for books and sort by average rating, all the books with a 5 star average due to a low number of reviews are at the top. This makes it so the actual highest rated books are buried under countless pages of books with only a few 5 star reviews. It would be nice to filter these out to see the actual highest rated books. So for example, a filter that would allow you to only see books with say, 100 reviews or more. Or just make it so any book with less than a certain number of reviews automatically gets filtered out when searching and sorting by average rating.

Create a Private Bookclub or Group

I'd love to be able to add friends to a private group where we can share book recommendations and reviews, make posts, etc. It'd be useful for bookclubs to use as well.

Filter one's own library by different criteria

Ability to filter one's own library by different criteria, like book format (physical, ebook, etc.—after a few imports my books and stats are all messy, and being able to filter would make it easier to switch editions as well as add missing ones and/or fixing incorrect data). Thank you!

Include unfinished books in the `Currently Reading` tab when using `Owner last read date` sorting

The Owner last read date sorting option doesn't work with the Currently Reading tab.

I assume this sorting method looks for the last Finished reading entry in the Reading Journal since books I have already finished, and I am re-reading, are the only ones to appear with this sorting option.
This method works fine in the Read tab, since all books in this tab have already been Finished reading, but it doesn't work in the Currently Reading tab, where most (when not all) books have never been Finished before.
As a result, you have almost all books in the Currently Reading tab hidden when you set the sorting to Owner last read date.

I suggest that the Reading Journal's Updated progress also be accounted for in the sorting, so that "last read date" means "the last time you pick up the book to read" and not "the last time you finished the book".

Original title field

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/

Approve/deny follower requests

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.

Setting to hide Moods and Genres

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.

Include Table of Contents / Chapter list

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.

Migrate to Flarum for Hardcover Roadmap

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.

Dual Format Tracking - Text & Audio

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
