Your Community Features Wishlist

If all goes to plan — so far I'm personally behind schedule, hey ho 😅 — the second half of this year will be focused on taking StoryGraph's Community features to the next level.

So, to kick off my customer research/roadmap building on this, I have a small request/challenge for y'all...

Hit "Reply" and let me know three things:

One new community/social feature you'd love to see this year
One current community/social feature you'd love to see improved this year
A community/social product development that you'd hate to see on StoryGraph

You can respond to 1-3 of the prompts above — ideally in a super succinct bullet point list — but no more than 3 things or I will discount your response. 😌

There's a lot of you and only one of me so I gotta be harsh! 😆

Since last time...

The other night I gave a TEDx talk at the University of California San Diego!

It was a different setup to my usual conference talks and I enjoyed the challenge!

My talk was about content warnings so I reckon some of you might be interested in it once the video goes live in a couple months!

Product-wise, I took the next step in improving the onboarding process. Now users are asked to set up their Community preferences from the get-go:

And thank you soo much for all of the lovely responses to my last issue. It was such a highlight of my week. 🥰

Next two weeks

I'm excited to collaborate with Rob soon on upcoming changes to recommendations. We've got improvements coming to the behind-the-scenes machine learning aspect and the user-facing side, all leading to a higher quality experience! 😎

What I'm reading

I'm still in California — hence the "late" time of this issue going out — and I'm enjoying doing an in-person buddy read with a friend on Tom Hanks's new release. The concept intrigued me so I hope it lives up to my expectations!

Have a great week,

Nadia
