I am building QuietReads (quietreads.com) - a single-player book tracking app with an AI assistant.

I got tired of the gamification and social elements of Goodreads, StoryGraph and others. I don't care too much about reviews, but do care about engaging deeply with what I am reading.

Lot's to do still: - Refining the experimental MCP integration so I can bring my bookshelf into my AI assistants - OCR to build notes from screenshots - Voice notes

I wrote a little about why I am building the app here: quietreads.com/about Thoughts on building the app: https://thinking.luhar.org/2026/01/building-at-the-speed-of-...
