    I'm also very interested in this product and have been working on something similar, but I'm not sure if there's a real market for it.

    What does it do? I couldn't see AI or any other function beside reading “Meditation”. (Was on my iPad)

      If you select a section of the text it gives you an option to "explain" the selected bit.

      as quibono said it, right now it just explains passages you find difficult to digest, but planning on much more later, "Meditation" is the name of book, no iPad/Mobile support yet

    This is wonderful! Where do you want to take this?

      Thank you! Originally I built this for myself, trying to make Lindy books more accessible and the reading experience more enjoyable, I would appreciate if you could give me some feedback: @yucefzd on X

    I thought O’Reilly is doing the same thing
    • joezee10 months ago
      They are doing it for technical books, I am doing it for lindy classics, think Meditations – Marcus Aurelius, Das Kapital – Karl Marx ...

    Honestly what’s the difference between this and what I already do with ChatGPT?
