Hi @ssddanbrown , I really like the idea of having grid view and cover image for the BookStack app.

I clearly understand your concern about the screen getting messy. To avoid that we can provide users the option to choose grid view or the current layout. This toggle can be placed in the 'Edit Profile' page.

Initial implementations can have the following:

Grid view for bookstack.com/books page.
The 'Recently Viewed' and 'Popular Books' section on that page can be left unchanged.
Allow users to upload cover image at the time of creating book.
The ideal size of the cover art is a height/width ratio of 1.6:1.
Scale image if not of required size.
Provide toggle button to show/hide cover art on 'Books' page.
If no cover image is uploaded, a default cover will be set.
Provide toggle button for type of view in the 'Edit Profile' page

Here's a link to the mock-up:

Please do give your feedback. Once you are happy, I would like to take a crack at developing this.

Uh oh!

Uh oh!
