With Readers, you can:

* Add DRM-free epubs to your library or choose from a selection of (currently public-domain) ebooks.

* Read privately or create public/private reading groups and invite others.

* Sync reading progress, comments and highlights between group members.

Ideally I'd like it to become a sort of Bandcamp for ebooks, where authors and independent publishers can sell their books, but I haven't explored that yet.

I've been wanting to make an app like this for years, but being a designer not a developer I didn't think I'd be able to do it. However, a few months ago I decided to give it a go and with a lot of trial and error and some help from Claude I was able to put it together.

I've not built something of this complexity before so I'd value any feedback or suggestions you may have.

Thanks for taking a look!
