Hiya, I was looking for something like this, and am finding it fun to play with.
I just have one question ... How do I add a book to it?

The feature is not ready yet, but it’s coming in about a month.
Entertrained lets you type (or read) the most famous classic, as well as some modern books. I'm far from done with the app, but the core functionality is completed, and a selection of 100 books is ready to be typed!
Here's what you get in the current version:
- selection of 100 books to choose from, in various genres,
- typing and reading mode (for when you're done typing for the day, but still want to enjoy some good literature),
- optimized desktop and mobile experience,
- extensive customization,
- progress tracking and statistics.
The app doesn't require creating an account, all your progress is stored in the browser, and you can export and import your save, in case you want to switch browsers/devices (or make a backup).

On a more technical side, the app is made with SolidJS + Solid Router and vanilla CSS, all components are custom made (except Chart.js for charts). The app works purely client-side, with the progress being stored in IndexedDB using localForage.

All feedback is welcome. If you have questions, or suggestions, or have found some bugs (there may be some, as the app is still in its initial stage), leave a comment and I will try to respond to all of you.
