Hi HN! I built Bookhead because I used to work as a bookseller and I wasn't happy with the software options when I decided to sell my own collection online (with the hopes of one day growing so I can open my own brick & mortar). So I decided to make my own bookselling app...a classic hacker distraction. Bookhead has two main parts: 1. an inventory management app that allows a bookseller to list their books anywhere they want to sell books (like Squarespace, Biblio, eBay, Shopify (coming soon!), etc) 2. an e-commerce platform with a CMS for selling books and letting a store control their…

Hi HN! I've been working on BookWith, an open-source e-book reader that integrates AI as your reading companion. The problem: Traditional e-readers are passive.

It features: - Context-aware AI chat: Ask questions about the current page/chapter and get instant answers - AI podcast generation: Automatically converts book…

I built Book Reading Habit (iOS only) after struggling with my own inconsistent reading habit. What helped most was keeping reading sessions short — easy to start, easy to repeat. That became the core idea behind the app. Book Reading Habit is built around that approach, with a strong focus on privacy and a calmer reading experience: no ads, no social feed, and no unnecessary noise around reading. Current features include: - short, extendable, or open-ended reading sessions - reading tracking - text notes, voice notes, and transcription - custom shelves and lightweight book organization -…
