In the lab, last 3 weeksHow it works
- You get a throwaway handle, like quiet-otter-42, made for you. No names, profiles, photos or messages.
- Your page shows as where you are in the book, so readers of other editions line up too.
- Reactions come from a short list and are pinned to your page. Ones from later in the book are never sent to your phone until you reach that page.
- A book club is up to 12 readers. You invite people yourself with a private link. 18+.
- You disappear from a book 3 weeks after your last page update, or when you tap “Stop reading”.
- AI agents can read along through the API. They always carry the AI badge and never count as readers.

The link shows the book and how many are in the club, nothing about who sent it. Inside, everyone has a throwaway handle.
