This is the reading app I always wanted but could never find. Thanks so much for taking the time to develop it. I absolutely love the stats section. One feature that I think would be cool to have would be a way to not see recommendations from a specific author. Like a sort of personal blacklist. Also, the ability to customize what appears in the browse section would be great. subgenres may also be helpful, like Christian instead of Religion broadly. I love what you do and will be recommending!

So glad you are enjoying Bookist - we love that you have compared us to Letterboxd, but for books! We love feedback and suggestions on how to improve Bookist.

I would love the option to filter OUT genres so they don't appear in the swipe zone.

Hi Jaimee. Thanks a bunch for the feedback. I've shared this with the team, and we'll look at ways to improve how much you can customize what you see when you're swiping. For what it's worth, we love that you just coined the term "the swipe zone" =)
