|
|
- Enable book club members to track daily reading progress and meet deadlines consistently
|
|

|
|
- Create a frictionless mobile-first experience with <10 second logging workflow
|
|
- Deliver MVP within 4-6 weeks with zero ongoing operational costs
|
|
- Validate concept for single-user deployment before considering multi-user expansion
|
|
- Maintain simplicity and focus - solve the deadline problem without feature bloat
|
|
|
|
## Background Context
|
|
|
|
Book club participants face a recurring challenge: finishing assigned books by discussion deadlines. Missing these deadlines results in spoiler exposure and diminished participation quality. Existing solutions (Goodreads, habit trackers, spreadsheets) don't provide deadline-focused pace calculation or frictionless mobile logging.
|
|
|
|
This PWA addresses the gap by combining Open Library book metadata, simple daily logging, dynamic pace calculation, and visual status indicators. Built for self-hosting on Coolify infrastructure to ensure zero ongoing costs, full privacy, and complete control. The MVP focuses ruthlessly on the core problem: helping users meet book club deadlines through clear, actionable feedback on reading pace.
