Updates to 1001 Books App

The app has had several updates since March as I continuously work on improving it. Here's an update:

Tap About this book on any book to read a description and, where available, a short finder's note — shelving hints, alternate titles, edition warnings, and notes on books not yet translated into English.

See book awards — expand any book to see which prizes it has won (Booker Prize, Nobel Laureate, Pulitzer Prize, and more) displayed as chips in the "About this book" section. A small trophy icon on the title marks award-winning books at a glance.

Share the app — show a QR code and share link so others can find the app easily.

Tap the What should I read next? button on your dashboard to get a personalised suggestion from your To Be Read list, with a reason why it's a good fit for you. Skip suggestions with feedback to refine the next pick, then set the book to Currently Reading with an optional start date and tags, all without leaving the screen.

Completely redsigned filter panel is now organised into collapsible sections, making it easier to navigate on smaller screens. You can now filter by prize and tag.

Share your progress when you mark a book as read. Share a message with the book cover to any app on your phone.

Your ideas — share feature suggestions and vote on what gets built next.
