Man I didn't expect to see this land on the front page...it was actually falling off the "new" page with a single, lonely point the last I saw it.
So basically I made this to scratch my own itch: I wanted a simple/quick way to save the books I enjoyed and read with the possibility to add a quick review and also be able to create "stacks" -- curated lists of books that fall under a common theme/category. I feel like I've seen so many of these on the web but in a unstructured format: lots of "summer reading" blog posts, celebrity reading lists, etc... and thought that having a structured way of creating lists would be a nice thing to have.
As many of you noticed, the site is not optimized for mobile, the tos suck and overall it is still very much alpha but I really appreciate the interest and hope to see some books saved and stacks created if you like the idea enough to sign up!
Also, don't take it so seriously: I know a lot of Show HNs are now part of elaborate launch campaigns but this is truly just a side project I've been hacking at and wanted to share on a whim with the community.
