Show HN: 50books, a bare-bones reading list tracker
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a project that I've been working on the last few days that I finally finished last night: https://50books.org
This is a simple site designed to track your reading list into 2015. My personal goal is to read 50 books this year, and I wanted to hold myself accountable. Major sites like Goodreads are great, but were too much of a social network for my personal taste; on the other hand, using a text file (which was my 2014 solution) was too difficult to track and share.
I built https://50books.org using Sinatra, sqlite3 (via datamapper), and the Skeleton UI framework. I'm not a designer, but I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out.
Anyway, I'd love to hear any feedback you all might have!
