Very tempted to try this out since I've graduated college and no longer have to hate reading :)

@veronika_berisha - quite relatable; I've gone through the same type of trauma through my studies. Though I'm still trying to explore, I've since found the niches and genres that I like, and I can say that I've been selfishly using Literal to help along with my reading.

Best thing for me is that you can snap a picture of a page and save whatever section, sentence, paragraph as a "moment". I love that feature!

@pietterheyden Having never been a user of Goodreads, I did build out my own reading library in Notion. I'm very excited to check out Literal 2.0 as it ticks every box that I've been looking for!

@benjaminpolymathologistcom that's amazing! I'm happy that we've convinced you to join, whereas Goodreads hasn't. Thanks for the upvote! PS: If you want to show off your Literal library on your own website, we have both a ready-made widget, and an API too.

Hey guys! Love your work! What do you reckon are best tips for finding Literal peeps with similar taste to you? Can you upload massive GR libraries as well now too? Andddddd what is the hottest requested feature coming soon? I am https://literal.club/Gilly!!!

@sarah_christine_gill Thank you !! Great to have you on Literal! Firstly, book clubs and the explore page are a great way to find new interesting people to follow. Either by following conversation threads in clubs, or through personalised recommendations based on your library and network that you can find on the explore page. Secondly, yes, massive libraries are welcome on Literal. The largest imports we've seen were more than 11,000 titles which is an absolutely impressive reading list! And completely humbling compared my current reading goal of 20 books for 2022. Thirdly, I think we'll keep the mystery around upcoming features for now. You'll have to keep an eye on our newsletter, twitter, or instagram for updates :) Unless @pietterheyden would like to give away any teasers?

I really appreciate this elegant app after using the beta already for months. Meanwhile because of the amount of the reviews and book collection, I am also using goodreads. Here I have several wishes for the app: - sync with goodreads latest activities (instead of always importing from scratch) - sharing local physical libraries as community event (would be great to mark people's fav library) - for the cozy margins, would be also cool to increase the font a bit (always feel that the cursor have to travel extra miles to reach the button e.g search field. #fitts'law) - would be cool to also select 3rd party book review source (google, goodreas, amazon, or douban book) Congrats for the release and good luck replacing goodreads.@pietterheyden
