As a casual reader, I built a quieter reading app: no streaks, no reminders, no social feed
As a casual reader, I realized na di ako masyadong interested sa pag-track ng progress ko or mag-maintain ng reading streaks.
Minsan gusto ko lang magbasa kung kailan ko gusto.
I noticed na most of reading apps, parang nakakaguilty pag di mo sila nabubuksan for a while. Yung constant reminders to read, maintain streaks, hit goals, or socialize with other readers.
pag nagbabasa kasi ako sometimes I just want a mental escape and mapag isa 😅
What I really wanted was a quieter kind of reading app.
Something where I can capture my thoughts, moods, and emotions while reading. No pressure to socialize, no competition, no productivity mindset.
So I ended up building Bookfelt. Still improving it little by little, but it already feels closer to how I personally want reading to feel.

Curious if other casual readers feel the same way? 😄
