Username is case-sensitive

Really tiny issue, but I just created a new account with the username "Si", cos I'm all neat and tidy like that. Then instinct was to log in using "si" and got really confused when it didn't work.

Then to confirm, I created a user with the username "si".

Again, really small issue, just figured I'd log it. In the meantime, I'm changing my username to "si".

SMTP password stored and shown in plaintext

I figured I'd quickly check out SMTP in fixx using my gmail SMTP settings (yeah, not best practice etc), but I quickly stopped when I noted that the password isn't starred out.

How do I add books not found in Amazon?

It seems that if a book is not found in Amazon, it doesn't exist. I'm currently blasting through Mark Boulton's self-published effort, and have no way of bleating about it to the world!

How about the concept of groups?

Readernaut's bias towards "reading" rather than "collecting" turns the site into one huge reading group. I love this.

Surely, the natural progression for this is groups? The challenge here is introducing them into the UI in a non-obtrusive manner, but clearly this is something Nate excels at? ;)

Anyway, keep up the awesome work.

I like this idea, or something along those lines. At the mo, I'm using tagging to denote that I own a book (well I plan to add that tag to all of my owned books, eventually), but to have this incorporated into readernaut the way in which plan to read and wishlist are would be awesome - these, in themselves, are core tags, this one extra would be loads helpful in making things clearer for people who don't already use the site.

ditto, I always figured that it was because my avatar image was too small.

localize amazon referrals.

I'm in the UK, and I use links from the wishlist page to purchase the books, however the wishlist page links to the amazon.com site, as opposed to the amazon.co.uk one.

When I switch to the uk page using their geo-ip link thing, Amazon conveniently loses the readernaut-20 referral link. At the moment, I've been copying into the new site, but I'm gonna be in the vast minority (I doubt there many as anal as me), so how about giving the option to link to the .co.uk version of the book / search results?

Woah, that was quick!

Well, I logged in for the first time in about a week, thought, "cool Readernaut's been tweaked!", looked at my "currently reading" list, and it was missing a book. Upon further investigation, this had been completed 2nd February (that day). The only actions I took that might have triggered it somehow, were logging in, and expanding the currently reading module thingmebob.

Cheers for the ultra-fast response!

This has happened again:

http://readernaut.com/si/books/037572...

Is this going to happen any time you do an upgrade? It's made me very sad. This time, I've just had to "re-read it", cos there's no way I can seemingly reverse the effects this end.

Simon Scarfe replied on February 02, 2009 22:24 to the question "Audiobooks?" in Readernaut:

I came here to ask the exact same question. I've recently begun filling the daily commute with books, I'd love to track these alongside my normal reading.
