Thank you Joe.

One thought I had (disclaimer: I am not looking for a date!!!!)(for now!). I also see this as an opportunity to "meet like-minded people in your area". I remember back in the day where ICQ had a 'search' mode. Imagine I can pick 10 books that someone (m/f/...) has read in my area. I am not suggesting your make this a dating site, but for introverts/avid readers it wouldn't surprise me if people would be paying attention to that.

Perhaps a setting that would add the location "Henry" versus "Henry (London, UK)". Feel free to add this on the "never do" list :)



We have indeed been hearing people ask for self-reporting gender and location! And indeed books are a great way to connect with others. Thanks for the feedback, we're taking note! Please feel free to share more ideas :)


"Delete account" please (no sneaky deactivations)(GDPR right to be forgotten applies for you as well). Oh, and make it easy please.
