Avid readers distribute their reading history across book-tracking apps, personal tags, and notes. Existing tools make it cumbersome to distinguish owned books from books merely read or wanted, preserve who recommended a title and why, record private reactions, and use ratings more precise than whole stars. This becomes especially painful while shopping, choosing the next book, or discussing books with friends.
Build a focused personal reading ledger that imports existing libraries and gives every book independent fields for ownership, reading status, recommendation source, private notes, and granular ratings. Readers can quickly capture recommendations, consult an offline-friendly shopping view, and export selected lists for friends or book clubs. The first version should prioritize reliable import, fast book capture, and data portability over a broad social network.
Repeated recent reviews show that established reading platforms still leave basic personal-library and reading-memory workflows fragmented. Readers already improvise with custom tags and general note apps, demonstrating both persistence of the job and willingness to maintain the data.
