## What is Commonshelf?

Hi, I'm the dev of Commonshelf — an app for people who love talking about what they read.

Here are 10 things you can do:

• Log every book on its own card — title, author, dates, rating
• Leave a public note, plus a private journal just for you
• Sort by genre, subject, and tags, with content ratings so it fits every reader
• Browse Log view, or switch to Shelf view for real book spines
• Find friends by username and follow their library
• See new logs from everyone you follow in your Feed
• Browse every book across everyone you follow in the Library catalogue
• Get a Year in Books recap and a collection of your favorite lines
• Personalize with themes, accent colors, and nicknames for friends
• Invite friends to join, right from the app

Completely free, no subscriptions, ever. Come share your shelf!
