Not sure how the first set of "recommended genres" are chosen - for example, "suspense" seems incredibly narrow, and similarly "speculative fiction" to include scifi/fantasy/horror is usually used rather than simply doing horror. Also why "autobiography" rather than "nonfiction"?
I also looked at your "genres" page. It's very weird that the lists don't match the bar at the top; are these things not generated from the same source? e.g. the bar starts with romance, fantasy; but the first categories are fantasy, magic. (also what is the difference between fantasy & magic)
Is there a way to add books you've already read & enjoyed to get similar recs? This is how Storygraph operates, and I've heard fantastic things about their recommendation engine, although tbh my TBR list is quite long enough and I honestly have no need for a product like this.
quick edit - also, the text of "Jurassic Park" seems to be in Spanish, while everything else is in English. Some i18n issue?
- aditiyadav 4y agoThanks for your feedbacks, Much appreciated. <<Genre Page>> Actually the "Bar" at the top is clickable and opens up set of carousels in below pane, e.g clicking on "Technology" will show carousels for "Programming","Technical" and "Computers". I plan to automate this process and personalize it based on user history. <<Is there a way to add books you've already read & enjoyed to get similar recs?>> Yes, definite plans there and will pick it up after Book-Genie, Making the page responsive and improving search. <<Jurassic Park>>- Yes, I need to add language detection filter. Really thankful here and hopeful that this becomes a useful product for you in future.
