Hi everyone,

As part of a UX/UI design project for my studies, I’m currently analyzing the user experience and interface of BookWyrm. The goal is to identify areas for improvement while respecting the platform’s core values (decentralization, simplicity, accessibility, etc.).

I’m looking to gather feedback from actual or potential users of the platform. If you have a few minutes, your answers to the questions below would be extremely helpful:

  • What do you like most about BookWyrm? Which features do you use most frequently?
  • Are there any features or interactions that you find frustrating or unintuitive?
  • What features do you think are missing or could be improved?
  • How do you feel about the interface (design, readability, navigation)?
  • Do you use BookWyrm (or similar platforms) mainly to manage your personal library (individual use), or to get recommendations, join discussions, and engage with others (social use)?
  • Do you mainly use BookWyrm on a mobile device or on a computer? And why?
  • Do you also use other platforms (e.g., Goodreads, StoryGraph, LibraryThing)? If yes, what makes you prefer one over the other?
  • If you’ve never used BookWyrm, what’s holding you back? And conversely, what might encourage you to use it regularly?

Thank you so much for your input. I’d be happy to share the results of this analysis here if there’s interest.

•	What do you like most about BookWyrm? Which features do you use most frequently?

Don't use it because it looks dated, like a 1995 website as it's well lacking an app that conforms to the OS's UI/UX

•	Are there any features or interactions that you find frustrating or unintuitive?

It takes more than one click to add a book to my default list

•	What features do you think are missing or could be improved?

Adding books I've read with a single press

•	How do you feel about the interface (design, readability, navigation)?

Feels extremely dated

•	Do you mainly use BookWyrm on a mobile device or on a computer? And why?

**Mobile because it makes scanning barcodes easier. **

•	Do you also use other platforms (e.g., Goodreads, StoryGraph, LibraryThing)? If yes, what makes you prefer one over the other?

Goodreads, has an app, doesn't feel dated, larger library of books.
