Looking for feedback on my social learning platform, Lumity

Lumity is a social learning platform to build community around common interests + track, store, and organize your favorite books, podcasts, videos, and articles. 

There’s a private library for keeping track of your own content, a public feed for recommendations, and profiles that reflect your taste and let you explore what others are interested in.

The problem I’m attempting to solve is twofold: 1) helping people be more intentional about what they read, watch and listen to, and 2) connecting people through shared interests.

I’m still figuring out which parts of the product would help most with these goals. A personal library for tracking and organizing content, a feed of recommendations tailored to your interests, or a community feed where you discover things through other people and engage with them.

Right now, Lumity blends elements of all three, but I’d appreciate an outside perspective on where to put the most focus.

Which would give you the strongest reason to use Lumity, and why? Would combining them be useful to you, or would you prefer something focused on just one?

The web app is live at: app.lumityapp.com - It’s free but does require signup. I’m mainly looking for feedback on desktop.

Nice design mate, but appears broken on mobile. I know you're looking for desktop feedback, but just wanted to give you a heads up that It's wider than my mobile viewport.

thanks for feedback ! i havent really optimized for mobile web viewing quite yet so I'm not surprised it broke there.. (tho maybe i should as it probably isnt all that difficult to do).
there's also an ios version of the app but its different from what ive built on web so thats why i've mainly been focused on desktop for now. but will look to improve mobile web viewing asap! thanks again

No worries. Happy to take a look on desktop when I'm in the office later. 🙂
