I only read 17 books a year, is that why I'm not successful yet?

haha, well you might try 18 books and see what happens next :)

I have just released my side project and looking forward to initial users and feedback: read15minsaday.com. If you read only 15 minutes a day, you can finish 18 books a year. Record and track this with read15minsaday.com along with a whole community.

Why is this functionally different than setting a public goal for yourself on Goodreads? A site that already has a large extant community?

The front page gives me no idea about what the site actually does. I already know how to read, and I already have a timer. Why do I need to sign up for an account on this website?

Thank you very much for your comment, I deeply appreciate it!

I will definitely work on what I communicate on the main page.

Indeed you have all the tools to be able to do this yourself. What this tool would offer you on top of that is a community and a motivation to do this with everyone.

There will be more info about your reading streaks, how your friends doing etc. There will be reminders not to miss a day.

I have more feature ideas for later on, but I need feedback just like this one! Again, thank you!

I don’t think your site works on mobile - I just get a picture of a woman sitting reading on a pile of books.
