Reading list

Snap a cover, it's on the list. Every book read, kept.

Idea from Lucie

Build me this app: https://apps.larbin.ai/en/reading-list.md

Send it to me on Telegram. I may ask a question or two first, then I build the app.

What it does

  • A reading tracker fed by text and photos: a title, a voice note, a cover or the spines on your shelf. I read back the books I found and save them on your yes. The same book twice stays once.
  • To read, reading, read, dropped. “Finished Circe” marks it read with the date, then one light question: 1 to 5, and a line on it? Your notes and quotes stay under the book, word for word. From a photo of a page, only the passage you marked.
  • A goal for the year, if you want one: on the 1st of the month, where you are, no guilt. “What should I read next?” comes from your own list. I never make up a fact about a book, and there's nothing to buy.

Before you start

What you're reading now, and what's on your list. A photo of the covers works.

A goal for the year, or none.

What it looks like

You

(photo of a shelf)

Your larbin

I see 4: The Stranger, Circe, Station Eleven, Sapiens. Save them to read?

You

Yes. And I just finished Circe.

Your larbin

Circe, read today: 9 of your 20 this year. 1 to 5, and a line on it?

Habits coach

Pick one small habit and a time. I nudge you once a day, keep a kind streak, and suggest a smaller step when you stall.

Time tracking

“Started the Acme deck”, “done”, by text or voice. Time per project, work and personal apart, and a recap every Friday at 5 pm.

Mood & energy journal

Every evening, two quick questions: mood 1 to 5, energy 1 to 5. After a few weeks, I show you what seems to go with your better days.
