## What is Readlink?

Readlink is the social network of personal libraries.
What you read shapes how you think. Readlink gives that a home to a living library you build, share, and connect through.
Add the books you've read, are reading, and want to read. Annotate them with private notes or public reviews. Then share your library as a single link: on your profile, your site, anywhere your thinking belongs.

WHAT READLINK DOES
Identity. Your library is a public-facing expression of who you are intellectually, not a list to gamify, but a signal of how you think. It belongs next to your name. 
Connection. Find people through the books you share, and books through the people you trust. The graph is built on what readers actually read, not who they happen to follow.
Intelligence. AI surfaces the connections you'd never find alone: ideas that run across books, readers who think like you, the next book that actually fits.

WHAT IT ISN'T
Not a tracker. Not a streak. Not a race to a bigger number. Reading isn't a contest of volume, it's how you build a mind over time. Readlink treats your library as something worth keeping, not a scoreboard to climb.

FOR READERS WHO MEAN IT
Readlink is for people who treat books as inputs to who they are founders, builders, researchers, and anyone whose reading is part of how they work and think. If your books say something about you, this is where they live.

Build a library that compounds. Find the readers worth connecting to.
