You may wish to let the user configure his WPM so that the estimates can be adjusted. Reading speed varies so widely that you probably can't pick a single value that will yield accurate estimates for everybody

Having to require readers to enter or even know their WPM seems suboptimal. What do you think about the approach to calculate it automatically for each reader. Initially of course it will just say" learning" until the reader moves from the first page/screen. What do you think about that approach? |

Until the page numbers are fixed, BF is very much seriously broken! It needs to be fixed.

It's a good idea, but different genres may yield wildly different WPM. The time it takes to read a page in a thriller novel is going to be much less than in a nonfiction philosophy book, or even something like a cookbook where a single page may be displayed for 30 minutes as you follow the instructions in your kitchen. You should probably have some mechanism to account for this, e.g. a per-book or per-genre metric.

Of course, this also assumes that the book has correct genre metadata, which isn't always the case. Just imagine when a thriller is incorrectly tagged as a cookbook, and the user sees an estimate of 1000 days to finish reading it at 30 minutes per page.

Yup but I think we could train a model based on the book descriptions only to quickly classify them. Lets see how it goes once we get to this task You have made it more exciting for us. haha

It's a wonderful app, but I don't have enough metrics like Storygraph.
Do you want to add visualized stats? It was also a good idea to add synchronization or import/export to a Goodreads. |

We have a whole section dedicated to statistics and graphs. We hope to get started on this component sometime next year. Won't leak the designs already done but I am sure you will like them. Good Reads We would like to, however it is not possibly since GoodReads retired the API and only allows access to apps previously integrated which will eventually also stop working. GoodReads will become much more closed and restrictive. https://help.goodreads.com/s/article...he-use-of-APIs https://debugger.medium.com/goodread...py-11ed764dd95 |
