Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Raja, maker of reads.city.
Reading is having a massive resurgence right now, especially among young people looking for an antidote to rising screen time. Community reading works wonders for bringing reading back and rebuilding our long-form attention spans.
Silent reading clubs and book clubs are meeting every week in cities across India. But right now, most of them are organised through fragmented Instagram accounts and WhatsApp groups, making them surprisingly hard to discover unless you already know someone in the loop.
I built reads.city to put them all in one place, making it easy to discover local clubs, find cosy book cafes, and encourage long-term participation.
What you can do:
Discover local clubs: Find a reading club in your city and see its upcoming meetups with locations and times.
Live check-ins: Check in at a meetup with your current read and see what the rest of the room is reading.
Book cafes: Spot local cafes with shelves you can read from.
For Organisers: We provide a completely free dashboard to update dates, locations, or details in real time. Readers see changes instantly.
It's completely free and community-driven. I'd love your feedback, and I'd also love to hear: which city or local reading club should we list next?
Here's the story behing it - Why I built reads.city: one place to find reading clubs across India
