A very specific suggestion/request for design change...Anybody agree?

I'll go for 5 random recomendations on your library or for 5 random recommendations of the same genre as the work you are on right now.

Well, the second one is what they're currently doing and the first one would likely be skewed into an algorithm that only picks the top five popular in your library.

The idea is to allow for self curated lists that build a potential visibility for under exposed titles that Tapas is not giving opportunities... to by choice or algorithm.

Skicoak......

You are a freaking genious!!!!

Not only makes cross promotion easier.....it can help readers to find comics that fit their tastes easier!

[DiegoPalacios]

The only think i would consider is what happens with new comics that haven`t made their own recommendations tho

[skicoak]

And as a sub-note, since the option is currently removed for creators with multiple titles ... Just convert those to the new curated system so that they can self promote and assign any other spots to titles they also recommend.

Not sure I follow, don't most creators on here read titles before they create one?

[DiegoPalacios]

I think they do, but may not have recommended other comics yet. My question is mostly..... what happens in the meantime before they put a title?

Ah...I follow you now.

How about a random selection from the creator's subscription list that resets with each view until the creator curates the selections?

That way it doesn't just "algorithm" the most popular but still implies personal choice...until choice is actually made.

Sorry, I want to say "5 random recommendations of the same genre as the work you are on right now you hace on your library" but it totally slip of mi mind he he

[skicoak]

I gotcha now.

You're more inclined to think random similar genre recommendations from the individual creator trump the individual creators curated selection's.

That suggestion is still better than what we got.... but I personally think the genre tags we have are so limited and don't reflect enough similarity to guarantee a match. I think readers would be more inclined to follow the creator's specific taste over a taste within a specific genre.
