24 alternatives to Summrize – Free Non-Fiction Book Summaries
Hey everyone! I know that a lot of people want to make more time for reading in their lives, but don't always have the time to do so. So I've created Summrize, an online platform for reading FREE non-fiction book summaries. For each book, I've condensed the most important concepts, quotes, actionable insights, frameworks and case studies, and presented them in a beautiful format. You can save the snippets that resonate the most with you, and share them on other platforms too! We know there exist other similar platforms (Blinkist, Shortform), but my goal with Summrize is to make access to the…

I built a site that combines full-length public domain classics with short summaries inspired by Blinkist/Headway lists, so you can either listen in minutes or go deep immediately. Would love feedback on discovery pages (genres/authors/series) and what “summary vs full” UX works best.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project that I've been working on the last few days that I finally finished last night: https://50books.org This is a simple site designed to track your reading list into 2015. My personal goal is to read 50 books this year, and I wanted to hold myself accountable. Major sites like Goodreads are great, but were too much of a social network for my personal taste; on the other hand, using a text file (which was my 2014 solution) was too difficult to track and share. I built https://50books.org using Sinatra, sqlite3 (via datamapper), and…
