Bookwise Onboarding — Password Reset
Add a forgot-password flow to Bookwise sign-in — show a reset link on the Welcome Back screen so existing users who forgot their Readwise password can self-serve.

Bookwise Snapshot Stickers
Shareable sticker graphics summarizing a user's daily, weekly, and monthly reading activity — designed to be the centerpiece of Bookwise's first book creator campaign for invite-only launch.

RevenueCat Migration
Unify iOS billing onto RevenueCat (matching Android) — unblocks the Readwise 2.0 mobile upgrade flow and the Bifurcation plan's new subscription plans.

Twitter Bookmarks Extension
Browser extension that replicates X.com's own requests to back up Twitter bookmarks — eliminates $5K/mo API cost, enables full history backfill, no rate-limit hits.

Bookwise Invite Codes
Invite-code/referrer system for Bookwise — the first social growth lever, framed as 'discover your reading friends' rather than community migration.

Bookwise Onboarding — Goodreads Import
Authenticated server-side scraping of a user's Goodreads library on Bookwise sign-up — pipes shelves, ratings, reviews, and friends into TrackedBook so new users land in the app with their reading history already populated. The single most-used onboarding import path.

Bookwise Launch
Bookwise Onboarding — Kindle Import
Self-serve Kindle library import on Bookwise sign-up — pulls a user's owned Kindle books, dedupes them against the Goodreads-imported library, and lands them on the Unsorted shelf. Pairs with the Goodreads-import path; the goal is to make Kindle take precedence on the open action while inheriting Goodreads metadata.

Bookwise Onboarding — Registration
The sign-up screens themselves — email + password capture, profile setup (display name, username, photo), and the moment a new user is dropped from the social-network sandbox into the full app. The first thing every new Bookwise user touches.
@artem 2mo
Bookwise Launch
Bookwise Onboarding — Sequence
The post-registration onboarding step sequence — what happens AFTER a new Bookwise user signs up but BEFORE they're free in the app. Covers the Welcome Carousel, Import Sources screen (Goodreads + Kindle), Find Friends, the staff-only first-reading-session step, and the home-page setup cards.

Reader Search via Turbopuffer
Move Reader search from local-first SQLite (slow, 20-result cap) to server-side Turbopuffer FTS — better quality, faster results, no client indexing wait.

Add Button Unfucking
Refactor the tab bar Add (+) button and surrounding information architecture so users can quickly track books, log sessions, add and find friends, buy books, and immediately grok what Bookwise does — pulling in the tab bar, Home, Library, and Store screens.

Bookstore Pages v2
Web phase of the Book Pages IA project — upgrading Bookwise's bookstore book pages from v1 to v2 with mobile's elevated aesthetic, bidirectional enrichment between web and in-app, and new logged-in experiences like shelving. Mobile shipped first; this is the web phase.

Bookwise Feed Post for Updates
Dynamic HTML cards rendered in the Bookwise mobile app feed (via WebView) so the team can announce app updates and promotional content without shipping a new app version. Globally targetable, with optional per-profile targeting.
