š Designing Book Juice ā a reading app that actually makes you want to read.
Dark UI + warm book covers = a combo I couldn't stop tweaking.
Here's what drove my design decisions:
ā Dark theme to reduce eye strain for long reading sessions
ā Featured hero card to spotlight trending titles (not bury them)
ā Podcast + book integration ā because some people learn by listening
ā A streak + daily offer mechanic to make coming back feel rewarding, not guilt-tripping
The hardest part? Making a grid of book covers look cohesive without looking like a library database.
What's one thing you'd want in your perfect reading app? Drop it below š
I'm actively iterating and would love real feedback.
š¬ If you've built a reading habit ā what made it stick? An app, a ritual, a format?
