Bedtime Book Helper (or whatever name I hear on the wind this week)

In Test Flight

One saturday night, after asking my wife what books to read to our son for the 30 (days in a month) * 2.5 (months we’ve been reading bed time stories to our son) time, we decided a book rotation was necessary.

Thus, this book and reading tracking was born. I build this over a week with the heavy use of AI. On top of preventing reading the same book too many times, I wanted it to be a way to track our “1000 books before kindergarten” goal.

It has a Tinder-esque book selection UX, book likes and dislikes, and, consequently, a obvisouly algorithm for what to read tonight.
