"your app is basically better than what i have"
tracked arcs in detailed spreadsheets for years. after two weeks: "your app tells me how many pages per day i need to read to finish on time. i've never seen this anywhere else."
"knocked out seven arcs in the short time span that i've had the app"
tracked everything in notes app before shelfcontrol. two weeks in: "telling me how many pages a day i need to read is the most useful thing."
"having that actually on a calendar is really useful"
"got totally overwhelmed and kept asking for more arcs" before shelfcontrol. now: "helped me realize i was in a slump as opposed to just feeling it."
this toggle controls whether the pages you've already read count toward today's stats.
it does NOT change your pages per day number. that's based on how many pages you have left, which stays the same either way.
when to use it: you're adding a book you started weeks ago. say you're already 600 pages in. you don't want the app thinking you read 600 pages today. flip that toggle on, and the app knows "yes, these pages are read, but not today."
we're working on percentage tracking! for now, here's a workaround:
enter 100 as your total pages. that way 1 "page" = 1%.
the app will show you how many % you need to read per day to finish on time.
