Hi Product Hunt! I personally make a summary of each non-fiction book I read with quotes and my ideas. For paper books it's always hard to type long quotes, also there is no app that combines note-taking and scan. So I decided to build this solution. A quick insight I had while building the app: 95+% of people who make notes/summary while reading, then never come back to them. Let me know what you think!

@artem_bezrukov Awesome, I'm going to have a play today - I thought buying a scanner would help me digitise more, however I found I didn't use it nearly enough, this might be my solution to this!

@artem_bezrukov '95+% of people who make notes/summary while reading, then never come back to them.' This definitely resonates with me. Will check out your solution today! Good luck with the launch :)

Nice one! Do you believe this product will make more than 5% of the readers come back to see their notes/summaries?

@rubenwolff The idea is to build the product for all 100% ) Writing down, organizing notes/quotes is a useful process by itself and it's not needed to come back to them later.

Hi @artem_bezrukov, congrats on the launch! Are you going up against Readwise? Or see the product as complimentary?

@andrewdelaware Hi Drew! Thanks! Readwise model is in building integrations with Notion, Roam, etc. We plan to build native notes app for book lovers, so it's a bit different model

Great job with this! I always put stickies on key quotes of books and then I manually type them up with the page number after I finish the book. Maybe I'll give this a whirl on the next one and see if it works well.

I love the idea of adding your own summary to a book. That's what I'm going back and doing to older books I've read. I gave it a download and signed up for premium already. I hope it continues to get great updates to make it even better! Well done!
