What it does
Candl is a reading tracker for book lovers, now available as a progressive web app. You can add books to your reading lists, personal goals, and notes. As a progressive web app, it can be installed on your phone, making it easy to track your readings.
Track your books, notes, and reading goals in one private place. Import from Goodreads. No social features, no distractions—just you and your books.
A personal book tracker with smart notes, reading goals, and stats that help you read more intentionally. Add books with a single search. Mark books as reading, planned, or read. Track your progress page by page. Rate and tag everything. Create custom shelves to organize however you like. Capture regular notes, citations, reviews, and summaries as you read. Then actually remember them — Candl's built-in spaced repetition system surfaces your notes for review - so your insights come back to you like a boomerang, long after you put the book down. Create reading targets with book counts and date ranges. Track your progress on the home dashboard. Archive completed goals and keep pushing…from candlapp.com

The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository).
