STAGE 3 · READY!
SHELFMATE
Track and share your reading list with friends — without the algorithmic noise.
A small, opinionated reading tracker. No follower counts, no recommendation feed, no AI summaries. Just your shelves and the people you actually trust for book recs. Currently used by ~1,200 readers including a few public-library book clubs.
★ BONUS OBJECTIVES ★
- Open Library API integration with local caching
- Friend graph capped at 50 — by design, not by limitation
- Built with the goal of zero notification emails
