pizzakarin - 2014-04-04 2:03 PM I joined the beta for a new site called Geek Improvement and, as with any new site, I asked myself what it was giving me that other sites don't. Why should I use that site to track my reading habits instead of (or in addition to) Goodreads or Worlds Without End? The only unique thing I saw was that there was a stat that measured scifi vs fantasy content that I've marked read/played. Goodreads also used to do a piechart on the reading challenge page which showed as a percentage how many books fell into a tag, but it wasn't very helpful. Bottomline: I would love to be able to see how many books users (including myself) have read in a specific subgenre with maybe a pie chart to put those numbers into perspective. We've always intended to include more statistical breakdowns like you're suggesting though I don't think we considered a pie chart specifically. I love the idea! How about this: - pie one shows your main genre reading stats: SF, Fantasy and Horror where each pie piece is a link to a page showing all books in the genre that you've tagged as read - pie two shows a break down of the top 10 sub-genres in SF that you've read again with clickable pieces - pie three is the same for Fantasy - pie four is for Horror You can see a direct comparison between your pies and any other WWEnder's when you check their stats and we can do a WWEnd overall set as well. Your suggestion is very timely. We're planning a major overhaul of the My World section right now so you've given us more ideas that play right into that. More info as it develops. Thanks!
