Congrats on the launch!
Some comments/requests/suggestions (from a goodreads user):
* For me the main benefit of goodreads is their book suggestions. From what I can tell it's pretty naive but being able to see suggestions that I might enjoy based on my reading history, and also being able to see suggested books based on a single book or author is amazing.
* Read dates (and support for multiple read throughs) would be important to make the move from goodreads.
* Shelfs are nice but it's not clear what they are meant to be used for. I probably would create shelfs for the different genres I read, but then I'm missing a way to split the books in want-to-read/read/reading/gave-up.
* The shelf ui is pretty but not very useful. An option for a grid with filters or search would be nice.
* A good API would be AMAZING. More than amazing actually.
* Monetisation wise, affiliate link to amazon should be a good first way to keep you interested in improving zeneca. I'd say just add it.
* Public roadmap would be great with a way to subscribe for monthly feature updates or something.
- geoah 6y agoAlso, was looking at the PUT /library request being made when you add a book. The body looks really weird, is that some weird framework?

- stopachka 6y agoThis is great feedback geoah, thank you! We’ll note and prioritize. Would love to learn more about tracking re-reads. Do you have an ideal ux in mind?
