Beanstack
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.
