Update on the new Collections feature

If you’ve been following my BlueSky posts or keeping an eye on our Roadmap, you’ll know about the upcoming Collections feature that helps you better organise all your digital reading. You could think of Collections, originally called ‘Custom Book Lists’ (yeah, I know!), as shelves, boxes, or any other way of bunching books, comics, magazines, and games into their own categories (and yes, ‘categories’ was another name we considered). Keeping it simple Keeping things straightforward and simple to use is one of the design pillars Ashley and I follow. That principle applies to the technical, the way we use web forms instead of fancy javascript or widgets, and in the way we think about new features. Collections is no exception. We already have a basic test version of Collections. You can add a book to a Collection, and then view that Collection of books. Keeping it simple doesn’t mean readers can’t use Collections in sophisticated ways. Books can be placed in multiple Collections, meaning you can add all your PDFs for a particular RPG, like Ironsworn , to a Collection called Ironsworn and another Collection called RPGs . All your Ironsworn game books will now be accessible from both your general RPGs Collection and a more specific Ironsworn Collection. It sounds simple now, but with new ways to view, filter, and sort library views coming up as well, things can get pretty fancy. Eventually, we’d like to offer the option to add your own images or banners to Collections, helping you to distinguish them from each other at a glance. Look out for this new feature coming soon! And keep up-to-date with new developments over at the Roadmap , and by subscribing to our newsletter, The TOC ! Happy Reading, Kevin What I'm reading
