Hey all,

I fluffed my post up and adding the description here in the comments!

I’ve always had this issue where I never remember enough of what I read so I built Synto. Synto distils all the lessons I’ve learned in the past few years to help you become an active reader.

Quick summary of the features:

- There are micro-lessons to take before and after you read the book, with interesting questions that relate the lessons to your everyday life.

- Insights into each chapter of the book...things you may have missed while reading.

- Additional learning links, to help you go deeper.

- A place to store any notes on the ideas you have while reading.

- A community to discuss the books with.

There are 15 books with challenges available (mainly classic philosophy books), and plenty more to come.

Design definitely needs some work but the content should help you improve your reading skills while I continue working on it.

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.
