Make a Generic Readalong for every book

I was thinking that when you clicked on a book, you could automatically see if there were any public/live readalongs. Or a way to search for a book to see if it has on ebefore creating one. Also, I wish there was a way to leave off an end date. Or maybe even each book automatically gets a read along with a generic "chat about it" like how buddy reads is, but someone can create a specific one if they would like to customize it more?

You will be able to see public/live readalongs from the book page and people creating one will also be prompted to join current public/live ones instead of creating one.
You'll also be able to search via title on the main page.
We purposefully decided against a generic StoryGraph one, for a bunch of reasons, a main one being the responsibility of moderation.
And we purposefully added an end date because a key part of successful buddy reads and readalongs is that you actually get through the book in a reasonable amount of time, and you don't want a longer burden on the host if people are reading the book "forever" or continually joining — even though you can still keep following along and commenting past a date.
