Notes from building ReadAware — on reading, memory, and software that stays yours.

  • Lake Baikal: sync that had to be earned

    Why 0.5.0 took the longest quiet stretch this project has had: end-to-end encrypted sync, ghost books, an error-handling reckoning, and a wall that was one array long.

  • Plugins: the reader, extended

    ReadAware now has a plugin system and a community marketplace. Selection actions, native-looking pages, agent tools, and books that aren't files.

  • Your library is not a cloud feature

    Why ReadAware keeps your books, annotations, and memory on your device, and what the network is actually for.

  • Reading that remembers

    ReadAware 0.1 is out. Why we built another reading app: highlights that go somewhere, and an assistant with a memory.
