Makes tons of sense. We are doing it right away :) Also, the name was pronounced absolutely right!
woo! :)
Maker
You said it . You should be able to see the changes live. Thanks :)
I have been using this since two weeks. Results are satisfactory, i think there is a lot to improve. I mean real time suggestions should be really Real time. Anyways awesome! I read two books ;)
Maker
Hello Yadav! Great to meet you here :) I've been noting down all the queries that you requested and seeing how we can incorporate that in the bot.
Will be waiting for the update. Cheers :)
Tinder for books :D
Very cool use case. Where is the Data sourced from ?
Maker
All the data is hand curated after extensive research from multiple sources. We have created these lists ourselves. :)
That's great. Are there any freemium features in the roadmap?
Maker
If people find it valuable, yes :)
Lousy UX - 20 "More from the shelf" taps. Use the carousel. Personalisation and an overview of shelfs is also necessary.
Maker
You are spot on. We had our reasons to make it this way, but now they don't hold up any longer. We started working on converting shelves to carousels, today :)
Like the concept, but "hand-curated"?
Hi ! I am Pratik, founder of Book Lovers Society. I tried your bot Shelfjoy and was really impressed. The collection is fresh and it's fun to discover variety of books everyday! We have made a similar bot by the name book lovers society which gives suggestions based on user preferences. We also have an inbuilt price drop alert which notifies user about the drop in price. Let's have a chat sometime to discuss more on bots and books. It's such a wonderful combination, isn't it? 🙂 P.S. I have sent you a message on facebook and we can chat there.
