An encyclopedia of lists

Canons, crowd tallies and things to get through. Tick what you’ve done, bookmark what you want — every list says where it came from and how it was counted.

How this works. Two marks per row, and they mean different things: the tick on the left is I’ve read / seen / been there, the bookmark on the right is put it on my list — you can want to reread something you’ve already finished. Saved rows collect on one page per shelf, one copy each however many lists recommended them. All of it lives in this browser until you make an account, and then it follows you between devices; an account is a username and a password and nothing else, with no email address stored on either sign-in path.

Where the lists come from. They’re data files in a public repository, not rows in a database, so every change to a list is a visible edit someone can argue with. Each one says who was asked, where, and how the answers were counted — including what the count can’t tell you. That last part is the whole point: the source is here.
