ReadIt is a reader-facing, human-first, calm digital home whose core goal is to help users track their reading, get more suitable recommendations, and join book clubs for in-depth discussion.
Purpose
ReadIt organizes its features around readers' real needs, including: remembering the books you have read, discovering the next book you want to read, connecting with others, and maintaining ongoing communication in clubs. It is both a personal reading management tool and a social reading platform.
Main Capabilities
Remember the books you have read
- Reading diary and tidy bookshelf: provides a trustworthy personal library, supporting quick recording, later lookup, and clear review.
- Reading status management: divided into want to read, currently reading, and read.
- Short diary notes: using a comfortable reading width.
- Reading goals: providing goal setting that motivates without applying pressure.
Discover your next book

Book clubs
- Clubs as a first-class feature: simple structure, predictable schedules, organized discussions.
- Online clubs and offline meetups organized by city.
- The next meeting is always visible.
- Shared club bookshelf.
How to Use
Users can start by building a bookshelf, recording books they want to read, are currently reading, and have read, and writing short diary notes. The system generates recommendations based on bookshelf content, notes, ratings, and community "fit" signals (such as mood, theme, and pace). The goal of recommendations is to be explainable, not a black box. Users can take part in online discussions or join offline meetups by city, and clubs have predictable schedules and well-organized discussion threads. The core experience (tracking, bookshelf, community participation) is planned to be offered for free, with optional supporter features helping to sustain the project.
Use Cases
- Readers who want to centrally manage their personal reading records and reading goals.
- People who want personalized recommendations based on dimensions such as mood, theme, and pace.
- People looking for online or offline book clubs and hoping to communicate with readers of similar taste.
- People who value privacy and dislike engagement-manipulating social products.
