Good stuff! When I'm not working, my stuck-at-home life (which is sometimes excruciatingly boring) is 90% reading on Readup. I've been thinking that I need to spice things up and this looks fun. Regardless, it's hard to feel human while staring at the black mirror, but if it's an "event" (meaning: interactive, ephemeral and COOL) that makes a huge difference.

Readup is the best way to find, read, and share articles and stories online. It's powered by a global community of readers who vote with their attention. Articles are ranked by read completion (versus upvotes) and nobody can comment on stuff they haven't read.

Hi folks! Jeff and I met in pre-school and we've been best friends ever since. We've been working on Readup full-time for almost three years. The company started with a random phone call that ended up lasting several hours. We talked about a huge problem with the web: tons of people comment on articles they haven't read. It leads to shallow, off-topic, and toxic conversations. We wondered if we...

Hey PH! @reallyjeff and I grew up on the Jersey Shore and we've been best friends since pre-school. A little over two years ago, we hatched a plan to fix commenting by prohibiting people from commenting on articles and stories they haven't *actually* read. We believe that commenting on something should be a privilege (not a right) and reading is an appropriate baseline expectation. So we...

reallyread.it helps you read better and read more. Better means longer, smarter articles. And more just means more.
Our aim is to create a social media platform that's actually *good* for you.
Deep reading feeds the brain and soul. Shallow browsing (scanning headlines) rots your mind, kills your ability to focus, and makes you depressed.

Hey PH! Jeff and I are two best friends (since preschool!) now starting a company together. After developing this concept for over a year, we’re excited to launch reallyread.it v1 on Product Hunt! Our technology is simple, but powerful. Using a chrome extension, users get credit for stuff they’ve read fully, which unlocks commenting privileges. It’s not possible to comment on anything you...

I'm Bill Loundy, founder of The Yoke: www.theyoke.com We built this platform to help yoga teachers and students connect in new and interesting ways. Teachers can take greater control over their teaching (and earn better pay) and students now have a real alternative to "studio" yoga. Plus, classes are cheaper than what studios are able to offer. So everybody wins! We're still small, but focused...
