It could be ones you marked twice and they're showing up as multiple dates read instead. If everything shows up as being created, that would be the best bet.

Other option would be to generate a Hardcover export, then do some Google Sheets formulas to see which are missing.

Join us later today for a live video chat on Discord talking about Hardcover, Books, development and welcome new team members!

We’ve looked into the AT Protocol some, as well as the Fediverse. So far the big limiting factor is privacy - for AT protocol at least. From my understanding there isn’t a way to organize AT protocol data around friends only or private - two important parts of tracking. Once AT solves that, perhaps!

Glad you discovered us! Let us know how you like it and if you run into any problems!

Another option is Library tab, book button under the book, Update Progress.

Our code migration was successful!

Now we're busy ironing out bugs and making sure everything is in peak shape. If you notice anything that's not in its place or doesn't work let us know though Discord or our support email jules@hardcover.app

We're nearly done with the big code migration we've been working on for some time. @adamfortuna.com is preparing the move as we speak.

We'll be letting you know once it's live!

One of the most common questions we get, often from developers, is "Where do you get your book data from?"

If you're building anything in the Book space, you'll know how tricky (and/or expensive) a problem this is.

The answer? Everywhere we can get it. 😂💙📚
