Book club software that keeps reading sacred.
Reading stays sacred. The scheduling, the capacity, the rotating host, and the mid-month nudge do not.

Reading stays sacred. Scheduling doesn't.
The parts of mink that book clubs lean on most, in the order they tend to matter.
First Monday of the month, last Sunday evening — one recurrence rule holds the cadence, default time, duration, and cap, with exception dates for December.
The host's couch fits what it fits. Approval-gated RSVPs and capacity limits, with waitlist auto-promotion when someone drops out.
Co-organiser seats with role permissions, so whoever's hosting this month can post, edit, and manage the guest list without handing over an account.
Group, direct, and event-scoped messaging with admin moderation — where next month's pick gets argued out.
Over twenty Scriban email templates with group-level overrides: the mid-month "how's chapter four treating you", the day-of address and parking note.
Every meet and the whole series export to ICS, landing in Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars.
A post-meet gallery with captions, so the club has a record longer than the group chat's scrollback.
Rate the book after the fact, weighted so members who actually turned up count double. A real shelf history, not a vibe.
Everything else comes with it.
Nothing above is an add-on tier of its own — it's the same platform every club on mink gets.
