    Still no half-star ratings.
    No proper DNF (Did Not Finish) option.
    UI still looks like it's from 2005.
    Amazon owns it and doesn't care.

So I built Kaguya, a modern alternative, over the past 9 months.

What’s live:

    Custom shelves (Organize however you want)
    Rich-text reviews (format your thoughts properly)
    10-star rating system (More nuance than 5 stars)
    DNF, On-Hold, and other reading statuses
    Likes, shares, comments on reviews
    Import your library from Goodreads/StoryGraph
    A beautiful design that doesn’t make you feel like you’re using an ancient website

 Coming next:

    Deep tagging system (Genres, moods, character traits, tropes)
    Beautiful stats & insights (Visualize your reading habits)
    Discussion forums for every book (Think subreddit-style discussions)

Would love feedback. What do you think?

I've built a web app that helps you discover new shows and movies you'll actually enjoy by:

- Connecting to your Sonarr/Radarr/Plex instances to understand your media library

- Leveraging your Plex watch history for personalized recommendations

- Using the LLM of your choice to generate intelligent suggestions

- Simple setup: Easy integration with your existing media stack

- Flexible AI options: Works with OpenAI-compatible APIs like OpenRouter, or run locally via LM Studio, Ollama, etc.

- Personalized recommendations: Based on what you actually watch.

While it's still a work in progress, it's already quite functional and I'd love your feedback!

For the past few months, I've been exploring tools that integrate with the Linux networking stack. This led me to build SafeHaven, a lightweight and configurable VPN implementation written in Go. The goal was to better understand how virtual private networks work at a fundamental level.

Would love feedback from the community! Repo link: https://github.com/kwakubiney/safehaven
