PagePulse
Know what a book will do to you before you open it.
PagePulse is a reading intelligence app for iOS and Android. Scan any bookshelf, see the emotional fingerprint of every book, understand what your library says about you.
Book discovery is broken, and the cost is invisible.
Every reader has bought a book they abandoned. Every avid reader has dozens. The economics of reading work against discovery, a book demands fifteen hours of your life, and you decide whether to commit it based on a cover, a blurb, and a friend's hot take.
PagePulse reads your bookshelf back to you.
Point your camera at any shelf. Gemini Vision reads every spine in a single multimodal call. Each detected book gets a five-emotion fingerprint, chapter by chapter.
Scanned my chaotic nightstand stack and got a surprisingly accurate read on my mood lately, mostly existential dread apparently. The emotional fingerprint idea sounds gimmicky but actually nailed the vibe of books I'd never have grouped together.
Scanned a small stack on my nightstand and the emotional read on each book was weirdly accurate, like it picked up on the vibe of a slow-burn novel I couldn't put down. Actually made me want to dig through the rest of my shelves to see what it says about me.
chapter-by-chapter emotional fingerprint is a cool idea but seems like it could work against itself - part of what makes a gut-punch chapter land is not seeing it coming. do you show the full chapter breakdown upfront, or is there a spoiler-safe mode that just gives an overall shape (e.g. "slow build, brutal back half") without mapping specific chapters to specific emotions?
