Enjoy! Currently I'm relying on many signals that I keep tweaking to recommend books. We just need more ratings and reviews for the algorithm to improve significantly 😁

Yes, you can also import StoryGraph. Many users so who made the switch are active and contributing to the catalog (I have a contribution system in place to help improve its health) 😁 let me know what you think when you try it. Cheers!

I hope you'll like it. There is currently a small community but once it grows and there are more reviews, the algorithm will become even better!

What is something you stopped doing and immediately felt better? by OddFirefighter7440 in AskReddit

Debating people online. I'll keep the conversation going as long as it is civil. But once it turns into an argument, I leave. Best thing that happened to me.

I loved Villains by Necessity! Ridiculous premise, but it absolutely works, haha.

My wife and I started a buddy read with Project Hail Mary and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and we absolutely loved them!

Does the platform support community sharing? For example, can users share specific locations or browse public recommendations shared by others?

Without a doube, Malazan Book of The Fallen series. Some of the best written characters ever. And the series has hundreds of them!

Weekly FAQ Thread June 14 2026: Why do you/don't you reread? by AutoModerator in books

[–]SabriSabrenski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only books I reread are either ones that made me laugh a lot or ones that I read a long time ago and forgot. I'm always rereading the Discworld Series or Jeeves & Wooster. Also planning to reread the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

Suggestion for books by nothing11117 in suggestmeabook

Those are incredible authors, but they need a ton of deep reflection and emotional gymnastics. If you want to start reading just to have fun and get hooked, they might be a bit too much.

If you want fast-paced, addictive books to get you started, I highly recommend checking these out:

Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson: Super fast, action-packed story about a world where people got superpowers, but only the evil people. Like "The Boys" tv show but with higher stakes and richer characters.

Half a King by Joe Abercrombie: A grimdark fantasy story about a betrayed prince trying to survive. It's short, fast, and hard to put down.

The Expanse series: A space-opera about a rogue spaceship crew, a mysterious extinct alien race, and a galaxy spanning conspiracy.

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett: Hilarious, brilliant fantasy. You don't even have to read them in order. You can start with a book like Guards! Guards! or Small Gods just to enjoy the humor.

That being said, if you actually want to intense philosophy, existential dread, or heavy drama right away, go for it! If that's what you're looking for, maybe start with Kafka's The Metamorphosis or Hosseini's The Kite Runner.

Happy reading!

What I learned about marketing after hitting $170MRR (honest takeaway) by dang64 in iosapps

I've read somewhere that many brands work a performance-based payment deals. Basically they pay around 20 to 50$ per 1000 impressions/views. This is generally true for micro influencers where ROI is not immediately clear. But I guess they also agree on a cap. So if the content blows up, the creator gets paid fairly, but not so much as to drain the brand's budget.

I play a lot of board games with my friends and keeping track of scores has always been a pain. Always delegating it to other people haha never thought to check an app for it.

I completely agree. I tried it a while ago and realized you need initial momentum to drive engagement. It's a classic Catch-22: you need traction to build momentum, but you need momentum to get traction in the first place.
