I run a book tracking app called Book Assembly and have just added public profiles and sharing. Looking for readers who'd be up for trying it out and letting me know what works and what doesn't.

What it does:

Track your library, log reading progress, set yearly goals, and get detailed stats about your reading habits. It imports from Goodreads, StoryGraph, and LibraryThing if you want to bring an existing collection across.

The new bit (and the bit that needs testing):

Public profiles are now live. You get a shareable page at bookassembly.co.uk/@yourname showing your currently reading (with progress), favourites, recently finished books, reviews, and reading goal progress. Your library is private by default and you choose what's visible, book by book.

Book pages also show community stats now: how many readers have a particular book and its average rating, all anonymised. The more people using it, the more useful these get.

Other bits that might appeal to this community:

• Reading goals for books, pages, and listening time
• Cover to Cover: a Spotify Wrapped-style year in review with shareable cards
• Reading timer with session tracking
• Moods, pace, and content warnings on each book
• Stats page with charts for genres, moods, reading patterns, and more
• Proper audiobook support (listening time counts towards goals and streaks)

What I'm after:

People who'd have a poke around the social features in particular. Set up a profile, make a few books or lists public, see how it feels. If something's confusing, broken, or missing, I want to know. There's a feedback form in the app and I'm in the comments here too.

It's completely free. No premium tier, no ads, no paywall.

OpenFiction now has 41 Discworld novels: browsable narrative segments with summaries and character tracking. Since most Discworld books don't have chapters, we used scene breaks and narrative analysis to create sections - 6 books with actual chapters, 27 with scene-break sections, and 8 with AI-analysed narrative divisions.

321 characters tracked across all sub-series. Recurring characters (Vimes, Granny Weatherwax, Rincewind, Death, Vetinari, Nanny Ogg, the Librarian) are linked across every book they appear in. The glossary covers the Disc itself, Ankh-Morpork, Unseen University, the Patrician, the City Watch, the Witches, Death, the Luggage, narrative causality, the Guilds, and octarine.

The site is free, no ads, community-driven. Would especially welcome Discworld fans helping to enrich the character data - descriptions, relationships, and the like.

All 10 Malazan books now have complete chapter summaries, entity links, and per-chapter character appearances on OpenFiction. 206 characters tracked across 10 books, with all the Malazan-specific species (Tiste Andii, Jaghut, T'lan Imass, etc.) and a 45-entry glossary covering Warrens, the Deck of Dragons, Ascendants, convergence, the Malazan Empire, the Bridgeburners, key locations, and concepts like Dragnipur and the Chain of Dogs.

The spoiler system works at the chapter level - if you've only finished Gardens, character pages won't show Deadhouse Gates reveals. Given how many characters Erikson juggles and how often POVs are abandoned for entire books before returning, this is the kind of series that benefits most from structured tracking.

The character data could always be deeper - Malazan's massive cast and complex POV structure mean there's always more to track. If you're interested in contributing, the site has curator tools for adding characters and appearances.

OpenFiction is a free character tracking site I've been building, and the Dark Tower universe now has a 91-entry glossary covering Mid-World geography, ka concepts (ka-tet, the Beams, todash, the Prim, khef), key locations, groups (gunslingers, the Manni, the Wolves), objects (the Sandalwood Guns, Black Thirteen, the Horn of Eld), and High Speech terms.

Books 1-4 (The Gunslinger through Wizard and Glass) have full chapter summaries with character tracking. The whole thing is spoiler-filtered - if you're on The Waste Lands, character pages won't show you Wizard and Glass reveals.

The site is free, no ads, community-driven. Would love help from Dark Tower fans with the remaining books if anyone's interested in contributing.
