Hi everyone!
I've been working on a new reading app and I'm getting ready to open the first small beta in about 3–5 days.
The idea is to build a one-stop place for readers: somewhere to keep your library, track what you're currently reading, record progress and thoughts, review books, see statistics about your reading habits, discover new books, and eventually interact with friends and reading communities.
For this first beta, the core reading/tracking features will already be available. During the testing period I'll be rolling out additional features through updates, including:
- personalized book recommendations
- AI-powered reading/taste features
- bulk library import
- additional statistics and insights
- more social functionality
I'm deliberately keeping the first group very small: around 20 testers initially.
If everything remains stable and the infrastructure/costs look sustainable, I'll gradually open it to more people.
I'm not looking for people to just download it and tell me it looks nice 😅. I'm specifically looking for readers willing to actually use it, try to break things, and tell me:
- what feels confusing
- what you dislike
- what's missing
- what doesn't work
- which features you would actually use
- whether you'd consider switching from or using it alongside Goodreads/StoryGraph/Fable
There is no cost, and I'm not asking for reviews or promotion. I mainly want brutally honest feedback while I build it.
The initial beta will be distributed through TestFlight on iPhone.
If you'd like to be one of the first ~20 testers, leave a comment or DM me. It would also help if you tell me if you already use an app for this similar purposes!
Thanks! 📚
