Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion

Hmm, very odd… that should’ve auto marked the date finished. You didn’t use ‘open additional options’ right? Or edit the book dates specifically?

I think I’ve had this happen to me as well; if I mark a book finished from the book’s page, the date finished is fine, but the time finished is always set to 00:00.

I added it to a custom list, but only after I’d marked it finished from the dropdown, and I didn’t touch the date

Ah. I think that’s what did it. Interesting. It shouldn’t do that, but I think that’s what resets the time to 00:00

Apologies on that brief book page outage… should be all resolved.

I just noticed that pressing the + on the dashboard to mark another episode as watched doesn’t generate any activity on the item itself?

Yes, I already complained about it on Jun 20th, without much of a reaction ;-/

Thank you for the laugh.ありがとう

:rofl:

Edit: because Korean has very similar grammar, having a book written in Hangul with Furigana on top would actually probably work. :face_with_peeking_eye:

This may have been mentioned before, but are there plans to distinguish whether a book is read in physical/digital form or listened to as an audiobook (or both), similar to how subs are handled with videos?

I don’t know if it would be overcomplicating things, but there could be a big difference in the way a book is graded depending on if it was read or listened to… :thinking:

I think it’s been briefly chatted about before, but no formal request. We only have the full blown Audible search / support request, which is now partially done :slight_smile:

Audiobooks are a bit strange in that they are very closely tied to the books and many people do them together. I don’t think we’d have a required field like subs, but perhaps a simple checkbox saying you read the audiobook / did both might be nice.

Would it be possible for the same number pages to be counted differently? Like for example, there’s a book about days of the year that I’m reading. It typically has 1 page per day. However, if I try to enter only that page, I get an error message saying that the start page can’t be higher than the end page. Could the end page have something like .001 added onto it invisibly to get around that? Or something similar?

I’m not entirely sure what you mean. Are you saying that you read a specific page, like page 300, and you only want to mark that page read none of the others?

Yep, that’s exactly it. But Natively doesn’t let me put 1 page, it always makes me do 2 or more which gets really confusing and also inaccurate

I see. Yeah, I’ve imagined that potential use case before, but wasn’t sure how common it was. I know it’d be nice to be able to specify exactly which pages you’ve read, but my initial gut reaction is that it probably would add more complication than its worth…

For the time being, i’d probably recommend just recording the pages read as if you were reading them sequentially from the beginning. You can use the private notes field to keep track exactly which ones you’ve read.

Regardless, certainly worth a product request!
