Read the full description
Inklings Book Club turns a library card into a reading adventure: 100 public-domain classics with excerpts and quizzes across 6 reading levels, plus read-aloud in the Professor's voice. Kids sign in with their library card — profiles are name and age only, no email, no ads, no data collected. Libraries get their own in-app pages, and 15 founding libraries are already live. Free forever for kids and libraries, because a library changed the maker's life. It can change a kid's too.

Partial The reading app, quizzes, and read-aloud are vibe-codeable, but library-card login across many library systems and curating 100 public-domain texts with quizzes are real integration and content-production work.
What it would actually take: Build a kids' reading web/mobile app with a content pipeline that imports public-domain texts (Project Gutenberg style) and generates quizzes, plus TTS for read-aloud. The hard part is library authentication, which needs vendor partnerships or SIP2/ILS and SSO integrations with each library system. Child-safety and privacy compliance (COPPA-style) and library sales/partnership work are also needed.
