Hey, fellow ProductHunters! 👋🏻 Before I go on, I'd like to thank you @kevin for hunting Bookstash and for your patience with the listing. It's Dani and I'm a dev at Deepstash. It’s a cool app where you can read short ideas from books, podcasts, videos and other online stuff. We have this deal where we can use part of our time to build what we want which also seems cool to the chiefs. So I used mine to come up with Bookstash, which they loved. Now, I certainly didn't build it alone, so thank you, Ciprian, Daniel, Horto, Ovidiu, Sabin, Adriana (fancy UX skills there, special props) and quite a few others who lent a bit of their spare time to aid me. - The problem? I realized that those 2-3 minutes we have during coffee or when waiting for our commute usually get wasted away. - The solution? I know it sounds really weird, but I came up with it while ordering a pizza. Hungry as I was, I was not really in the mood to choose... I just wanted a "just send one over" button. So for those time gaps when you've got nothing to do, I came up with a cool website which recommends you top nonfiction books and delivers short ideas & nuggets of info from it, so you can essentially get the gist of a whole book before your coffee is over. ☕️ - What else can you do? 📌 You can save your favorites for later. 📈 You can keep track of what you read (cool progress bars anyone?). 📲 You can easily share the most interesting stuff with the most interesting people in your life. 📚 Dive into 100+ books, most of which are recommended by cool celebrities like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and others. I want to thank @jordan__hughes here for inspiring me. He launched https://www.producthunt.com/post... last year. Check it out, it’s amazing. It's totally free, so if it sounds cool to you and you have a couple of minutes to invest in yourself, check it out! 🙌🏻 And of course, I'd love to know what you think of it! P.S.: Share any book recommendation you might have to add it to the list! 📖 Or add your ideas from it to Deepstash and share the link, that's even faster...

@kevin @jordan__hughes @daniel_raducu This is great! It would be cool if you had a search option and a simple form to be able to recommend books.

@kevin @jordan__hughes @daniel_raducu @patrick_o_keefe3 Second the idea of search, or at least another way to navigate beyond the slider. Maybe consider grouping books by type or themes?

Cool list. Any chance "The man in search for meaning could be added"? It is one of the most impactful book on my list.

Looks Great !! I have a question about who summarizes these books ? Is it user generated or the creators behind Bookstash does it ? Once again thanks for Bookstash !

@saurabh_d the awesome Deepstash community contributes the ideas, which is a big part of the fun of the app.

Really love it, it's awesome! Is "Pick my book" feature based on the user's behaviour? i.e. keeps track of history, interests etc? I'd find that quite useful if I'm interested in a specific genre for instance.

@lucweb1 Hmm not really, you get a random pick. It would be cool to add this in the future, though, so thanks for the tip!

Congrats. It looks really sleek. Love the UI. Are the books curated manually or some sort of black magic AI behind the scenes?

@eduardosasso Manual curation (at least for now).

Awesome! I tried it out 😀 . Just a few queries, how do I search for a book I want in the webapp? And will there be a mobile app? Congratulations on the launch !

@kaushikgv Glad you like it! No search functionality (for now, at least), it's designed to be as simple to use as possible (so we pick something for you). If you want to search for books (and more), there's a search bar in Deepstash.

@horto oh yes, the search on Deepstash is awesome! Really enjoying both the apps! 😀
