The Nightstand

A cozy AI reading advisor and tiny private book club. Mabel — a warm, opinionated librarian — learns each reader's taste and recommends books as hypotheses, with her reasoning and confidence attached. No spoilers, ever.

Screens

The Nightstand home screen: advisor card, a Continue Reading progress bar, and shelves with Reading, TBR, Finished, and DNF tabs — Home — pick up where you left off, with your shelves (Reading, TBR, Finished, DNF) one tap away.

The front door — invite-only sign-in, with a waitlist for curious readers.

Your next read screen: mood chips like Cozy, Twisty, Slow burn, and a Consult your advisor button — Tell Mabel your mood — she picks a few books for your taste, each with reasoning and a confidence level.

Blind date with a book: a mystery pick presented as three clues with a Reveal my pick button — Blind date with a book — three clues, no cover, no blurb. Just vibes.

How it's built

Zero-build PWA — plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Preact + htm. No bundler, no build step; it deploys as static files.
Supabase backend — Postgres with row-level security, auth, and edge functions that keep every API key server-side.
Claude-powered advisor — Mabel's recommendations, book chats, and fit checks run through an AI edge function with a personality all her own.
Installable & offline-friendly — a service worker caches the app shell so it opens like a native app from the home screen.
