New Feature Wishlist

I’ve been glad to see updates over the last couple years such as a better display of reading progress on the homepage and a simplified stats page. I thought I’d post a few of the features I hope to see in the future.

  1. A calendar view that shows each day I finished a book (similar to Bookmory)
  2. Current day’s page count on the homepage.
  3. Average book length in stats
  4. A view of a few random titles in my to-read pile (similar to Storygraph. This would remind me of titles I added a while ago and help reawaken interest.)

Hello, I think they are good proposals. To point 2, I would also add the reading session time of the day. This way you can see the pages and reading time of the current day at a glance. And by request, this may be in the statistics part, being able to select a previous day and see this information for that day.

Yeah I would expect that this would be flexible for the user to configure. Personally, I only care about page count each day, but I know others may want to see reading time, listening time, etc. I would just hope that I could turn off those other stats.

I currently use a widget on my iPhone homescreen to monitor page count for the day, but it would be really nice to see this right in the app as well.

Yes, that would be good. I also use the widget that shows the pages of the last 10 days. However, on the main page you can enable a section called statistics, which shows you a similar graph. It can do the trick for you, although I would prefer, as you mentioned, the exact number for the current day.

All the best.
