https://video.elfhosted.com/videos/watch/ec593f5b-c803-4414-b9f5-6ceaf27dc31d Jelu is a reading tracker and personal book log. Hosted on ElfHosted, it stays behind your own login, not on a social feed. Run Jelu with ElfHosted, and your reading log sits behind your ElfHosted login, so your reading life stays yours rather than a post on a social feed. It has a secure address of its own, so your shelves are right there on your phone, even in the bookshop. Jelu itself is the work of the Jelu project: an open-source reading tracker and book log. What is Jelu? A reading tracker that keeps your to-read, reading and finished shelves in order, with the dates you started and finished each book, even the second time round. Add a book by ISBN or title and Jelu fills in the cover, author and description, then add ratings, reviews, tags, series and a yearly reading goal. Moving over? Export your shelves from Goodreads and import the file into Jelu. Jelu tracks your reading, not the files, so keep your ebooks and audiobooks in another book app on the same ElfHosted dashboard. With hosted Jelu, we run it and keep it updated, so the log keeps growing year after year. It's backed up daily, and you can restore it yourself whenever you need to, and if something looks wrong, Sam checks your apps, tells you what's wrong and asks before fixing it. Start with a 7-day trial. Jelu is open source; ElfHosted is not affiliated with the Jelu project. When a person's better than a bot, the ElfHosted team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server. It's one place for support for every app you run with us, handled by professionals, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it.
