On Friday, Nov 6 we launch the BookTuning Reading Room: a free reading timer in your browser. You light a candle, read in sprints of 15 to 60 minutes (or anything from 5 to 120), and your book's Spotify playlist plays while you read and pauses for breaks. There are rain, fireplace and night-wind soundscapes, 20 pixel-art rooms, and a library card that tracks your pages and reading minutes. No account needed.
Before launch day, I'd love to know how you read:
What do you listen to while reading: a playlist that matches the book, ambient sound, or silence?
How long do you usually read in one sitting?
What would make a reading timer worth opening again tomorrow night?
New: the Reading Room, a free reading timer inside BookTuning. Pick a book, light a candle and read in sprints of 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes (or 5–120). The book's Spotify playlist plays while you read and pauses for breaks. Add rain, a crackling fire or night wind, choose one of 20 pixel-art rooms, and stamp a library card with pages, minutes, pace and a 14-day candle streak. No account needed. No ads while you read.
kwant launches here tomorrow, and I'm curious where people would start.
In our demos, a shop owner hands customer emails to a Support bot, and a nurse plans her grandma's 80th birthday with a Planner, a Scout and a Budget bot (the accordion didn't make the budget). For code, a QA bot tests the files the Frontend bot actually wrote.
So two questions: what's the first job you'd give your team? And what would you never let a bot do without asking you first?
BookTuningEvery story deserves a soundtrack: playlists for any book
