I made wits.io where writers can earn money with book summaries

In plain words

Wits.io is a platform launched in 2018 that enables writers to earn money by creating book summaries.

  Retool▲640

  Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494.
