I'm not a developer. I built a reading app anyway, 14k people in Korea use it, and yesterday I opened it up to English readers. Here's what I learned

Background: I'm a non-developer in Seoul. I read a lot and I hate book clubs. But every time I underline a sentence I want to know if anyone else stopped at the same line. No app did that, so I built one. It's called rlog (reading log). The idea is simple. You log the page you're on and leave a short note. Your note reaches other people reading the same book, and theirs reach you. Spoiler protection is automatic: you only see notes up to the page you've logged. No names, no profile photos,

痛点：读者想在同书同页看到他人的批注，但既怕被剧透、又不想暴露身份，现有读书社交应用都做不到

目标用户：重度读者、排斥书友会的独读者，尤其是跨语言阅读的读者群体

证据：14k signups, ~1.6k new in the last 30 days / 60k reading logs on ~8k titles / 7 paying subscribers (yes, seven. It's a cosmetic subscription for color themes, I never expected it to earn anything) / The spoiler gate turned out to be the killer feature, not the social part.

变现：主题配色等外观订阅只是象征性收入，真正的变现应放在跨语言共读社区（自动翻译的全球同书批注流）、高级统计/导出、按书或按作者的内容合作、以及出版社/读书会的B端白标

MVP：2周MVP：用现成图书元数据API（如Open Library/Google Books）做书籍搜索，只保留三个核心功能——按页码提交短批注、自动剧透门控（只显示已读页码之前的批注）、匿名HEX色身份，加一层机翻把中英韩日批注合成同一条书内时间线

竞品：Goodreads、The StoryGraph、Literal、Bookly、Fable、Hardback、Bookmate

摘要：一位韩国非开发者用6个月独立做出读书批注应用 rlog：用户记录所读页码并留下短评，只看到自己进度之前的批注（自动防剧透），身份是匿名HEX色块。上线约6个月拿到1.4万注册（近30天新增1600）、8千本书上6万条批注、1.2万本标记读完，但只有7个付费订阅，且是配色主题这类装饰性订阅。作者认为真正的杀手锏是剧透门控而非社交，而自动翻译批注（韩日中英）是它走出韩国的关键。
