Readmint

Mint your Reading Journey

Readmint is a simple and modern reading app created for book lovers who want an easy way to organize their books and keep a personal record of their reading journey. Instead of making reading management complicated, Readmint brings useful book discovery, collection management, reading tracking, and personal insights together in one place. With Readmint, readers can discover books and add them to their personal bookshelf, making it easier to organize and keep track of the books they own or want to read. Users can record their reading sessions and view their activity through a timeline, allowing them to look back at their reading journey and see their progress over time. Reading statistics also help users understand their reading habits and activity. Readers can write and manage personal reviews for the books they read, while an ownership feature makes it easier to keep track of books that are part of their personal collection. Readmint also includes Instagram sharing, allowing users to share their books and reading activity with friends and followers. Designed with simplicity in mind, Readmint is suitable for casual readers, regular readers, book collectors, and anyone who enjoys discovering books and maintaining a personal reading record. The app continues to evolve with new features being developed to make reading more organized, engaging, and enjoyable.

Tinybird

Build real-time analytics APIs over your data

Tinybird lets developers turn streaming data into low-latency analytics APIs, taking the ClickHouse column store and wrapping it in the ingestion, versioning, and API-publishing layer that makes it usable by a product team rather than a data platform team. The problem it addresses is real-time analytics inside an application, which is a genuinely different problem from business intelligence. A dashboard a analyst opens twice a day can take four seconds to load. A usage graph rendered inside your product for every customer, on every page view, cannot - and it has to stay fast while aggregating over billions of rows. That workload is what column stores like ClickHouse were built for, and it is also why teams that try to serve it from their transactional Postgres end up with slow queries, heavy indexes, and a database under pressure from a feature that is not core to it. Tinybird's contribution is the operational layer. You stream events in over HTTP or from Kafka, define transformations as SQL pipes, and publish any pipe as a parameterised, authenticated REST endpoint in a single step. There is no service to write, no cache to invent, and no infrastructure to provision - the endpoint is the deliverable. Data sources and pipes are versioned and deployable through a CLI, so analytics behaves like code rather than like a console someone clicked through once. Pricing is freemium, with a free tier sufficient for prototyping and usage-based pricing on ingestion, storage, and processed data as volumes grow. Against running ClickHouse yourself, you trade some control and cost efficiency at very large scale for not having to operate a distributed column store. Against Snowflake or BigQuery, the difference is latency and purpose: those are warehouses built for analytical queries measured in seconds, not for user-facing endpoints measured in milliseconds. Against PostHog or a product analytics tool, Tinybird is infrastructure rather than a finished analytics product - you build the feature, it does not come pre-built. Choose it when analytics is a feature your customers use, not a report your team reads.
