The winners will be announced in the coming weeks.

Below that sits an app icon resembling a bookshelf: a rounded grey square containing three vertical black book spines, with the rightmost book leaning slightly, and a black horizontal line beneath them to represent a shelf.

StoryGraph has a new barcode scanner! It's an in-house solution that's a lot more accurate, and allows you to scan the front cover.

Let us know if it's an improvement for you!

You can do that with tags! You can view your tagged books on your profile page, and even turn them into shareable lists.

Homepage tweaks coming soon! ✨
Mockup for upcoming tweaks to the StoryGraph homepage. It presents various components like the "Current Reads" section with books displayed side by side, each with a circular progress bar indicating the reading progress. Annotations around the layout suggest changes like smaller streak text, fully clickable progress bars, bottom-aligned books for a tidier look, and stronger arrow contrast for navigation. There's also a move to eliminate overwhelming numbers from the UI, replacing them with simpler, time-based phrases. Adjustments to the layout of book recommendations aim to utilize space more effectively by using a two-column layout for a less cluttered appearance. The recommended books are shown in larger covers for easier readability and the interface colors are tweaked to be easier on the eyes, with a note pointing out new, easier on the eyes green. The overall design is organized and labeled clearly with notes and arrows pointing out the specific updates for clarity.

#TryStoryGraphForJan

Tried StoryGraph before and didn't like it? Give us another chance this January! There'll be fun updates and massive improvements coming all month. ✨
The image features a promotional graphic for StoryGraph titled "New Year, New Reading Journey." It displays a hand-drawn illustration of a small character circling the Story Graph logo on a calendar page, with "2025" written in the top right corner. The character stands on a pushpin platform, using a red marker for circling. The style is playful and sketch-like. The background is simple, adorned with scattered stars and paper airplane drawings, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. The text on the image states, "We've got fun updates coming all January! Give us the month to keep you around. Don't love us by Jan 31st? Delete your data in just 3 clicks."

Mr. StoryGraph is back! This time he’s talking about our use of AI!

Regarding the environmental impact: All text generation, across all users, is being handled by a single server, which doesn’t consume any more power than a standard gaming PC/console.
