Hi Product Hunt! Thanks for checking out Visualible. Reading difficult books often means stopping every few pages to remember a character, a place, or a historical reference. Over time, those interruptions break the flow of reading. We kept asking ourselves a simple question: What if readers never had to leave the page to stay oriented? That idea became Visualible. Instead of simplifying books or replacing them with summaries, Visualible keeps the original text primary while providing optional contextual support around it whenever readers need it. With Visualible you can: • Explore people, places, terms, and references without leaving the book. • Use Context So Far to refresh your memory without spoilers. • Access original footnotes more naturally. • Continue reading instead of constantly searching online. You can preview the first 20 pages of available MeBooks for free. Device support: Visualible is designed for iPad, Android tablets, Kindle Fire tablets, and larger-screen web reading. We'd genuinely love your feedback on the reading experience. What's one book you've always wanted to finish but found difficult to stay with?

The little hover notes for characters and references feel really natural, not like clunky footnotes popping up. Helps me keep track of who’s who in dense novels without losing my place.

 Thank you—that's exactly the experience we were hoping to create.

We wanted the context to feel like a quiet companion rather than something that constantly interrupts the story. You can explore names, references, and other details when you need them, then return to reading immediately without losing your place.

It's great to hear that it feels natural instead of distracting.

The side notes on character names and places have been a lifesaver while I work through a dense historical novel, no more flipping to the index every few pages.

 Thanks for sharing this! That's one of the main problems we wanted to solve.

In many historical novels and classics, it's easy to lose track of who people are or where a place was mentioned. Instead of flipping back through previous pages or searching elsewhere, Visualible keeps that context available alongside the book so you can stay immersed in the story.

We're glad to hear it made the reading experience smoother.

How does it actually decide what to pull up on the side without constantly interrupting the flow? Curious whether the annotations are generated as you read or pulled from a static layer set by the author.

 Great question. The context isn't generated while you're reading. Each MeBook includes carefully prepared contextual information that's linked to specific parts of the book, so the relevant people, places, terms, and references appear as you progress.

Everything is optional—you can open it whenever you want or simply continue reading the original text uninterrupted. The goal is to help readers stay oriented without breaking the flow or changing the book itself.
