ReadingTracks is a fork-and-edit template for running a reading club’s paper catalog as a static site: papers, the researchers behind them, the venues they were published in, and curated “reading tracks” showing how ideas build on each other over time. No backend, no build step, no framework — just an index.html, one app.js, and your content as plain YAML.

It ships with a real, working example: my own ~150-paper reading list for a distributed-systems, databases, and AI-infrastructure club, filterable by area, era, type, venue, and tag, with click-through navigation between papers, researchers, and venues. Anyone can fork it and swap in a reading list for their own subfield.

(Teaser image above is the theme’s placeholder — swap in a real screenshot when convenient.)
