@kevinmarks @kylewmahan I also imagine that status updates for @goodreads also have two different and mutually exclusive data indicators for progress: one by page (for physical/printed books) and one by percentage (%) for ebooks which don't have 1 to 1 mappings for pages. The final field is likely a text one with a max of 420 characters. I also image that they have fields for indicating crossposting the status update to Facebook/Twitter which are done separately in their backend settings. Twitter is done in the back end settings as a default if permission is given while they actually have a checkbox for crossposting to Facebook. (I'm not sure why they have this odd difference in the UI)
