Nightspine
Your books as a shelf of spines. Reviews, wishlists, Story-ready cards.
$ cat README.md
What it does
A shelf, not a dashboard
Dark, warm and quiet. Books are vertical spines in book-cloth colours, grouped by where you are with them: reading, read, want to read. A book you are part-way through fills from the bottom as you go.
Reviews you can actually share
Half-star ratings, mood tags and a review card that puts your pull-quote next to the book's spine. Spoiler reviews stay behind a veil until someone taps to reveal them, in the app and on the card.
Books you did not finish still count
Most reading apps quietly delete a DNF. Nightspine keeps it on the shelf, cut at the point you stopped, with room for one honest line about why. Abandoning a book is a reading decision, not a failure to record.
Wishlists that work as gift links
Keep a list per occasion, add a note to any book and share it as a link. Whoever opens it sees the books and your notes in a browser, no account, no app install. Revoke the link whenever you want.

Nightspine is in closed testing on Google Play. Three steps and one Google account: use the same one for all three, because Play matches testers by it.
Join the testers group
One Google Group opens the test for every app I have in testing. Join it with the Google account your phone's Play Store uses.
