Commonshelf

Commonshelf turns your reading list into an actual library — the kind with a catalogue, not just a feed.

A REAL CATALOGUE, NOT A TIMELINE Every book you log gets classified into a simplified Dewey Decimal–inspired system — real call numbers like "290 HES," not a genre tag buried in a list. Browse your shelf the way you'd browse a library: by subject, by author, by the number stamped on the spine.

A JOURNAL THAT STAYS YOURS Every book gets a private journal for the half-formed thoughts you're not ready to share — never visible to anyone but you, enforced at the database level, not just tucked behind a setting.

FOLLOW OTHER READERS' SHELVES Search for readers by username and follow their shelves. New entries land in your feed, and public notes, ratings, and status are shared on purpose — this is a library built for sharing.

BROWSE EVERY SHELF AT ONCE Search across every library you follow like flipping through a shared card catalogue — filterable by category, subject, and tags instead of an endless scroll.

SUPPORTER FEATURES Arrange your books on a real shelf, nine to a row, the way an actual bookcase works. See your year in books, and collect your favorite lines from your own notes in one place.

No ads. No tracking. No algorithm deciding what you see next — just your shelf, and the shelves of people you choose to follow.
