## What is Fambooks?

Fambooks is a shelf for the books your family reads — one photo and a few words at a time.
                                                                                                                        
  The point isn't reading management. It's passing things down between generations. Years from now, your child will see 
  what their father read and thought about. When your child turns seventeen, you can place their father's seventeen     
  alongside. A grandmother sees what her grandchildren are reading right now.                                           
                                                                                                                      
  *How it works                                                                                                       
  A cover photo and a title — that's a book. Add writing and photos over time. Star ratings, tags, "read again" marks.
  Writing goes on a notebook screen, on paper.                                                                          
                                                                                                                      
  *A shelf for the whole family                                                                                                                                                                                                       
  A family tree connects everyone and each person has their own shelf. 
  Younger children's books are recorded by their parents. 
  Recommend books to each other, or leave comments on each other's notes. 
  Share your shelf with distant family through Google Drive
  (no sign-in needed for solo use, or for family who only read).                                 
                                                                                                                        
  *Built to last thirty years

  - No AI — recommendations and connections between books are all made by you                                         
  - Export everything as a ZIP anytime (opens without the app)                                                          
                                                                                                                        
  *License
