Reading community

A reading community for discovering people, books and ideas

A reading community is more than a list of recommendations. It becomes useful when reading experiences, book introductions, opinions and identities form paths that people can follow and discuss.

From solitary reading to social discovery Folinq lets discovery move through people and conversations: from a profile to Folios and books, and from a book back to related people and publishers.
Community and discovery

What should an online reading community provide?

A useful reading community should help readers discover while giving writers and publishers room to build identity and relationships. Folinq goes beyond star ratings with notes, reviews, multimedia Folios and direct connections between public book pages and literary profiles.

Discover through people

Public profiles help readers find literary people through their roles and the public Folios they publish.

Discover through books

A book page can become the starting point for context, related public content and connections across the publishing ecosystem.

Reading notes and experiences

Folios provide room for notes, introductions, reviews, questions and creative media around books and literature.

Many roles in one community

Readers share the network with writers, poets, translators, editors, publishers and other roles, making conversation broader than consumer-only discussion.

Building a lasting community

What makes an online reading community useful?

A reading community becomes more useful when discovery is not limited to prepared lists and the experiences of readers, their identities and the books themselves remain connected.

Discover through people, not only rankings

Your next book may come from the taste of a reader, translator or writer you trust, so discovery should also move through profiles.

Make every book a connection point

A book page can bring related Folios, perspectives and publishing context together so the experience continues after purchase or reading.

Let conversations continue

A short opinion, long review, question or reading note should be able to lead into conversation and following relevant people.

Bring readers and publishing roles together

A richer community lets readers discover writers, poets, translators, reviewers and publishers in the same connected space.

Book social network
