We kept having the same experience: finishing a book, desperate to talk about it, and having no one to talk to. Meanwhile, that same book sat on a shelf, waiting to be lent out.
Libraries are wonderful but limited. Bookstores are great but don't connect readers. Social media is... social media. We wanted something simpler: a way to see what the people around us are reading, and maybe borrow that book we've been hunting for.
So we built it. No venture capital, no growth hacking, no "disruption." Just a tool for readers, built by readers.
It only works if people use it. That's where you come in.
