1). Persistent design choice, as its built to be primarily a social platform. We felt like an account with your name was bare minimum for something like this to function correctly.

2). No GIFs. But, noted that GIFs could be a fun add.

If you add gifs, please allow an option to turn them off. That's one of my biggest pet peeves about Goodreads, a lot of reviewers put a gif after every sentence or two and it drives me up a wall. I want to read a review, not watch a series of tangentially-related short video snippets.

I actually wanted to make sure there were no gifs. I feel like gifs ruin reviews and make low quality reviews get the most 'engagement'.
