Where Margins is strong
Design and calm. Margins is a lovely place to keep a reading life, with recaps worth sharing.
Where Readimo is different
Readimo is built like a sports app: the session is the unit, the streak is weekly, and friends see you read. Readers who struggle to keep a habit often find the company is the part that works.
Questions
