What do you value in a reading tracking service (sh.itjust.works)

Hello! I am currently making a reading tracking website (a la Goodreads, StoryGraph, and LibraryThing) as a personal project and have hit a bit of a wall, so I've come to the internet for ideas.

What do y'all like about your tracking service of choice. What features do you think are cool or important? Are there any things that your service doesn't do that you wish it did?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Glad to help. Some of the non-ISBN content I’ve read and tracked on StoryGraph is the mega-web-novel Worm and various interstitial PDF mini-stories that an author posted on their website as part of a continuing Sci-Fi series. All of this content on the service is user-input. All you would have to do is create the feature. When I discovered it, I realized how awesome it is to be able to track such content.

Remember - great artists steal. So go check out the community features on Literal and the tracking features and user-entry features on StoryGraph.
