AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemCozySolve My Problem

Privacy-first reading stats by parsing device databases—small, focused tool for book nerds.

Strengths
  • Clever trigger-based approach preserves Kobo's analytics table that normally auto-deletes on firmware sync.
  • Handles multiple data sources: KRDS binary, vocab.db, clippings, KOReader stats, genre tags; comprehensive extraction.
Weaknesses
  • Tiny audience (only e-reader owners willing to USB-sync); no mobile experience or sync.
  • Datasette dashboards are functional but basic—no novel visualization or machine learning insights.
