About

Beanstack is an online reading-challenge and tracking platform that helps individuals, families, schools, and libraries track reading habits, organize reading logs, and gamify reading to build stronger reading habits and community engagement. It supports logging reading sessions (minutes, pages, books, or days) across formats, print books, e-books, and audiobooks, using tools such as a reading timer, an ISBN scanner, and progress trackers. Users can join reading challenges or readathons (e.g., seasonal, school-wide, or community challenges), earn digital badges when they meet milestones (like certain reading minutes or number of books), and potentially receive rewards or raffle entries depending on the challenge configuration. Beanstack supports individual readers, families, classrooms, or entire library communities; a single account can manage multiple readers, making it easy for parents, teachers, or librarians to oversee reading logs for children or students.

About

BookSparker is a web-based book marketing platform for indie and self-published authors. It brings audience-building and book-promotion tools together, including a genre- and list-size-matched newsletter swap marketplace, group promotions, reader-magnet and advance-review-copy delivery, sign-up landing pages, author websites, and universal links to booksellers. Authors can upload reader-magnet files for delivery in common ebook formats, collect subscribers, and connect supported email services such as MailerLite, Kit, and EmailOctopus. Free-plan features include limited monthly swaps, a landing page, email collection, and reader-magnet delivery. Paid plans add direct ebook sales through the author's Stripe account without a BookSparker commission. The platform is intended to help authors organize promotional activity and build relationships with readers.
