Discover your next favorite book through anonymous sneak peeks where the story speaks louder than the cover. A "blind reading" platform. Read engaging book hooks without knowing the title or author. For readers- Find your next obsession based on the quality of the writing, not the fame of the author or the beauty of the cover. For authors- Reach new readers by letting your writing speak for itself. Build your audience before you even publish.
Love the blind-date-for-books vibe tbh. How do you handle genre/mood filtering without giving too much away… Also curious if you’re seeing higher completion rates vs cover-led browsing
@amitpsharma We don't have enough data yet to compare conversion rates directly, but that’s definitely something we’re tracking as we grow! Right now, the main focus is just building a dedicated space for those blind 'sneak peeks', stripping away the title and author so the writing stands on its own. We essentially want to do for reading what short-form video did for video content: give people a quick, frictionless way to sample a story before they commit.
