Scholia

The social layer books never had.

What it does

Every reading app is built for reading alone. Goodreads rates books. Kindle highlights privately. Nothing puts the conversation inside the text. Scholia does. Highlight a passage — your group sees it instantly, right there in context. They reply, react, build on it. No separate chat. No lost threads. Stuck on a dense passage? Tap explain. AI breaks it down without you leaving the page. Built for serious readers — philosophy, theology, literature, research. Read together. Finally.

Unfortunately, I felt like the online book space was missing a platform that does the book community justice. Goodreads is the go-to "social platform", but if you've been on Goodreads before, you'll probably agree that it's not all that social, and overall not all that exciting. So I set out to build what I personally was looking for (but could never find). The goal: to give the book community a more social and streamlined alternative to Goodreads or StoryGraph. We also felt like…
