Hello, I'm Jared, and I have a passion for reading. Before diving into a book, I always review its information and summary. However, I've noticed that many book summary websites lack quality, and the few that do offer good content often come with high annual fees. Frustrated with the expensive subscriptions of Blinkist and Headway, I decided to take matters into my own hands. With the help of my friends, we are dedicated to maintaining this platform and providing free, high-quality book summaries. Our goal is to make it easier for everyone to find and choose their next great read without breaking the bank.

@jaredlee I love this idea! Congrats and good luck! Only thing I would advise is a mobile friendly website, otherwise well done!

Do you have the rights for the books you provide there? And did you build any system, or is this a 2 hour project where you manually summarize ripped pdfs from Sci-Hub with AI and display them as articles?

Hi Jared, this is fantastic! It's refreshing to see a platform that values accessibility to knowledge. How do you decide which books to summarize?

At quick first glance, I'm seeing spelling errors, and the links to About, Blog, About Us, Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and Cookie Policy links are empty.

Hey Jared, congrats on the launch! As you gain traffic I’m sure you will get inundated with requests. I think a beneficial feature for both you and the user would be to track current requests, allowing users to upvote ones they want listed.

This is a much-needed service for avid readers! And it's free? Wow! How do you select the books for summaries? Are there any plans to include user-generated content or book recommendations? Congrats on the launch btw!

@kyrylosilin Thank you! We plan to provide long-term free services, and may consider connecting to display ads later. We have a default list of books, and if there are books that users particularly want to read, we will give priority to putting them online. In the short term, we will not allow users to submit content, because there are too many such platforms, and the quality is difficult to control.
