About

Hi PH! I'm Alex, a product designer designing experiences for self-driving cars by day, and an indie maker building the best book tracker app for readers by night. I've been working on Bookshelf for 4 ½ years now as a passion side project—I actually launched it here on PH back then!—and it's grown steadily since, reaching over 250,000 downloads and $100k+ in revenue. I'm ready to take it to the next level in 2024, and I'd love to hear your feedback so I can keep improving it!

Summarize - Remember the books you read through organized notes 📚

The most important part of reading is remembering, and yet we so often finish a book and never think about it again.
How many times have you been asked about the last book you read only to realize you don't have an intelligent answer? Now, you always will.
