Word Walker: see exactly where everyone is
Presence used to mean “Chapter 3.” Now it means the word. Avatars float above the exact spot each reader is on, and your own position highlights as you move.
- Move with W/A/S/D or the arrow keys
- Follow a host to read in lockstep
- Works in every reader theme
Live sessions with a green room
Gather in the green room, then go live. The host leads, everyone follows, and the conversation stays anchored to the page.
- A green room before the session starts
- Leading mode for the host
- Everyone follows along, word by word
Communities: find your next club
Public communities around genres and authors. Browse what they are reading, join a club, or start your own and invite by link.
- Discover by genre or book
- Public and invite-only clubs
- A shared place for every club's current read
Spoiler-safe comments
Comments ahead of your position are blurred until you catch up. Reply, react and browse threads knowing the ending is safe.
- Comments anchored to the exact passage
- Blurred until you reach that chapter
- Reply and react without leaving the page
Notes that live next to the text
Highlights become notes, right where you read them, so you can find the thought again next to the line that sparked it.
- Highlight a passage, add a note
- Notes stay beside the text they are about
- Several highlight colors
