Reading Tracker
Track a reading goal without creating an account for it.
Reading trackers were mobile-only or required sign-up just to log a book and see a streak.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
Tracking reading goals and book progress required a simple, privacy-first tool. Commercial reading trackers were mobile-only or required accounts.
After
Created a motivating reading companion that tracks progress without requiring sign-up. The yearly chart provides visual motivation, and genre statistics reveal reading patterns over time.
How it's solved
Built a reading tracker with book logging, progress percentages, reading goals (books per year), genre statistics, and a yearly reading chart similar to GitHub contributions.
Trade-offs
Reading progress is self-reported — nothing verifies pages actually read versus marked as read.
