I guess you could call me the man behind the curtain. I started Readernaut to help keep track of all the books I'm reading and writing notes about. I then decided others might like to do the same so here we are :)
Currently reading
Inquiry by Design
Environment/Behavior/Neuroscience in Architecture, Interiors, Landscape, and Planning
The Adams-Jefferson Letters
The Complete Correspondence Between Thomas Jefferson and Abigail and John Adams

Hope you have a backup of this site somewhere on the interwebs. I'm starting to get dependent on it. Don't want you to end up like ma.gnolia.com

Twelve books at the same time. There should be Guinness Record for that.

You got any stats on how many people do the progress updates? I'm super curious what percentage of books being read have that info associated with them. I would love the Readernaut blog (even more) if that info was all up in.

Hi, just wanted to say that this community is awesome. Love the website and the simplicity of everything. Oh!, one thing we need is an HTML example sheet. I wanna learn how the italics, quotes, etc work in Readernaut. I haven't figured out how to do make the quotes sign like you did in your notes.

Nathan! Thank you so much for Readernaut. Using it has helped me do closer readings than I normally would have, and it's one of the few sites I spend time on that doesn't ever feel like a waste. :)

You seen these share tools around much? Bottom of the page on this link:

Probably how a lot of smaller publishers could get you "saving" or "shelfing" books on Readernaut... Just curious if you've seen a lot of them...
PS. Hoping to get into some API action soon. Finally!

Hey Nathan, great job with all of the improvements. Readernaut has been getting awesomer and awesomer. Congrats on public beta!

Congratulations on public beta. And most of all: thanks, I've discovered quite a few books I'd never have found without this place. :) Beautiful site and just keeps getting better and better.

Yo Nathan! Any plans to make this website public soon? It's quite a thriving community already. How much more are you tweaking/experimenting before you feel it's ready? Or is it more of a goal based (x amount of users/books/etc.) decision? I know, I'm being very nosey. :)
