Just wanted to update you all on big picture planning. Things have changed a bit with the new year as I alluded to in my 1/19 blog post - “Growth has become a larger priority this year due to (a tiny bit) of competitive pressure, so the roadmap is liable to change faster than normal.”
This won’t change things too much, as Growth always was a priority, but unfortunately, I think Book Editions & Rewatch/Reread functionality will be pushed back slightly.
Road Map:
Amazon Auto-Upload process for Japanese (Nov/Early Dec)1-2 more Languages (Dec) - Spanish, German, FrenchLists (new addition)- Community Editable Book Synopsis ( Jan ?)
- Improvements in Discovery (Jan ?) - improved Book & Series pages. Swimlanes in search. Hover over widget for items showcasing descriptions while browsing.
- Add Native Language setting & English (Early Feb ?)
- Add Video Games & Visual Novel (Feb ?) - this actually seems very easy
- Web Novel / Web Comic (Late Feb, March ?)
- Book Club Support (March ?)
- Book Edition Handling (April?)
- Rereads / Rewatch (April?)
- Recommendations & Premium(May?)
- Notifications System (??)
As you can see, Book Edition & Rereads & Rewatch are the major victims. I know rewatch is the top-voted request . I’ll try to work fast and get to it!
But I think this roadmap is very exciting and will enable a lot of growth! Video Games / Visual Novels / Web comics will expand our user base and Book Clubs will get people really engaged!
Let me know your thoughts~
