I built a GoodReads reading stats dashboard

TL;DR - A dashboard visualizing your GoodReads data export.

Try it now: GoodReads Dashboard.

What is it

A small site that visualizes your GoodReads data exports.

• Total pages and books read
• Top authors and series
• Ratings, length, and year distributions

How it's built

Everything runs locally in your browser. I wanted to minimize infrastructure investment and get this out as fast as possible and local first does that well.

Fully agentically engineered. It builds into my labs server's design for new experiments and serves a small, self contained plugin.

• Backend: Labs server - Rust + Axum using CloudSeed Rust
• Frontend: Wasm calculations and html templating with maud

I've been enjoying building small projects more with agentic engineering. Fun way to ship little things without too much effort. I'm trying to turn this into a regular practice of play rather than just creating for "impact".
