Log today's reading from an email in one tap
The emails ReadingRate sends in a reader's first days now carry a link that logs today's reading without signing in. The link opens a page that names your book and asks whether you read some of it today, with an optional field for the page you are on and one button. Press it and the day is logged.
Available on web.
The first logged day is the step most new readers never take, and a sign-in screen between the email and the log is one more reason not to. The link is in the day-one email, the email asking for a second day, and the email that follows finishing a book.
Opening the link changes nothing. Only the button logs, because mail scanners open every link in an email before you do.
What it can't do
- A link works for fourteen days.
- It logs today only, once, on one book. It cannot log another day, and a day that is already logged stays as it is.
- It cannot write thoughts, save a quote, rate or finish a book. For those you sign in.
- The book is chosen for you: the one you are reading, or else one on your shelf.
- Anyone who has the link can log that one day, so do not forward the email.
Questions people ask
- Can I log my reading without opening the app?
- From the emails ReadingRate sends in your first days, yes. A link opens a page that logs today's reading with one button and no sign-in. It works for fourteen days and for today only.
