Hi everyone! A book club seems like something from the last century. You're meeting up with a group of people, who does that anyway nowadays? You've managed to read through the whole book in the month that you had to do that. Scribbling down some notes along the way, carefully highlighting sentences because they resonated with you. It's been a tedious and lonely process until now. When you finally meet up, it gives you a feeling of belonging, knowing there are others who share your interests and passions. Finding out someone has also read your favorite book is a great conversation starter. Those conversations are more often than not full of new insights. A year ago, I mentioned the idea of an online book club to my friend Maxi. We both like reading books as an educational tool. For me, starting to read books has been eye-opening. We often discussed the books we read with each other. Those were the times I discovered the point of the book, the bigger lesson it was trying to teach me. Now, one year later, we think with pugmark we have built something that helps us in having that discussion. Having used it myself for a couple of books now, I notice how much more I remember of what I read. With pugmark, we want to give you a way to find those like-minded readers. It's the async, remote version of a book club. We are curious to hear what you think about what we have created. Of course, we are here to answer any questions you have! Raoul

Progress Bars for Notion

Nice! Need a way to import notes of books already read or in progress from some common platforms like kindle or Google books.

This seems interesting but unless I'm missing something (or there's no content yet), I can't see any notes or books from other developers, it looks like just a book tracker, in which case GoodReads already does that well for me.

@cristianmoisei Yes, currently we don't have too many users yet. As more people start using it, we hope there will be more discussions. We want pugmark to be more than just a book tracker, and the ideas and discussions is what should make the difference here. Thanks for checking it out and sharing your thoughts!
