Reading Tally

A gamified reading tracker that encourages consistent reading habits through competition. Users log daily reading sessions, track progress across books, and compete on leaderboards. Page-count visualization uses auto-scaled green blocks to represent reading volume. Rewritten from Node.js/Express to Go (net/http) as a single compiled binary.
