I semi-unironically think Hegel's worse than Wake, so I'm down.

Hahaha! You're not wrong. But I wouldn't be running this one...I'd just be chillin'... Where else am I gonna shill about 'Aristotle- Politics' and release my bombass essay on Isocrates (release date TBD)

Maybe u should cut down to like 2 groups unless you have all the time in the world to read books... lol

No way. I see it differently. I see this as like the new Reddit, kinda, where we take all the best topics and discuss them among people who read. In the same way that someone might follow 10 subreddits, instead they can be in like 20 groupchats, one for each different topic. Reddit is bloat. Here has far more potential.

That's crazy to me. On reddit I only follow 3 subs because I don't have time to seriously check and engage with more than that. I think it would be really cool if the website had some sort of official "club" for each topic that interests the users of this website. They could be user generated and people could subscribe to them. Essentially a reddit replacement. Maybe that is out of scope for this website. Don't want to see too much scope creep. Maybe the designer wants to focus on self-published books instead.

Yeah, but it's not checking and engaging with each sub all the time though. It's just some times some subs are deader than others. I'd say there's a good breadth of genres to get into and on a long enough timeline of reading, someone will be sure to encounter that-- so there's a GC for that purpose (and it doesn't always have to be books either, sometimes it's just debating ideas, papers, essays, concepts, videos etc). Yeah, I think @lowiqmarkfisher might be going that route later on but honestly I'm pretty thrilled about the GCs already. There's alot more potential here than on Reddit where risks of bans and autobans are always looming, so this is pretty chill all things considered.

Yeah I'm less worried about bans and more worried about how many submenus I have to leap through to enter a conversation. UI designers have to worry about click-exhaustion. An app version would be nice one day :') although I totally get gatekeeping ease of access hahaha

Does Reddit have an issue with submenus, or did you mean here having an issue with too many submenus as it expands? Either way, yeah I'm all about getting to where you're going in not too many clicks, and the navbar would probably be a pretty good place to put clubs if @lowiqmarkfisher decides to implement that. I'd be down for an app too. Either way, it's a pretty good thing here so far, so can't complain. Reddit is so broad that it loses touch with some things, in my book.

I meant it as a potential problem here. The app should have to be downloaded from the website and not be on the app store to avoid bots :)

I mean I don't think it would be an issue with submenus. Most forums figure it out alright. As far as the app being on its own website-- I've actually never heard of that before, as I've only ever gotten apps from the app store, so I'm not too familiar with how that works or how common that is. It's beyond what I know about it at this point in time.
