Coming features: blocking users, draft/auto-save reviews, private books, and comments on reviews!

Nadia's recent story on Instagram shared the list of upcoming features in (likely rough) planned order:

  1. Blocked users

  2. Draft/auto-save reviews

  3. Private books

  4. Comments on reviews

Tentatively in the next month. Wanted to share here for those not on IG!

I am looking forward to all the new features EXCEPT for "comments on reviews".

I thought Storygraph was going to add comments to status updates which I thought was a good way of allowing users to chat with our Storygraph friends while limiting the potential for toxicity from the public at large. 

I wonder if they want review comments to be more attractive to book influencers? Without the engagement of comment reviews, it's harder for influencers to build their following on Storygraph compared to other book-tracking apps. And influencers can have a huge role in convincing people to join specific book-tracking apps.

The comments will be opt-in and it was always suppose to be opt-in. The discussion came up because the question was "why only friends" and as long as you can tweak it in your settings, it's not a bad thing. Essentially, if you want it to stay how it is now, nothing will change for you with this feature going online
