👋 Hey Product Hunters!
I'm excited to introduce BookSlice, the ultimate gamified book reader for busy people. 🚀 I noticed my friends (despite their busy schedules) still wanted to read more. I ran an experiment (by accident) to help them, and it was a success! This inspired me to create BookSlice—a way to make reading fun and habitual.
What is BookSlice?
BookSlice is a Telegram bot that uses psychology to turn reading into a habit. For busy people, it makes reading as easy and addictive as checking your messages.
Key Features:
🔹 Gamification: Make reading a game! Set goals, earn streaks, and transform your reading habits.
🔹 Habit Stacking: Integrate reading into your daily routine. If you’re regularly on Telegram, BookSlice can leverage your habit of checking Telegram by sending you custom reminders to read more.
🔹 Read in bite-sizes: Reading a big book can feel overwhelming! BookSlice tries to reduce that feeling by sending you chunks of the book so you can commit to bite-sized texts one at a time.
🔹 AI-Powered Assistance: Get instant answers to your questions about the paragraphs you're reading. Our AI provides in-context responses to enhance your experience.
🔹 Free Trial: Enjoy the first month free! After that, it’s just $2/month with a 100% money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable as I continue to improve BookSlice. Please share any suggestions or issues in the comments.
Thank you for your support, and I hope BookSlice helps you read more books!
With ❤️,
Walter Tay
Cool! Your creative solution to making reading a fun and habitual part of daily life is truly impressive.
I found BookSlice.app to be a great tool for managing my reading list and tracking my progress. The app is easy to use and has a clean interface, making it a pleasure to navigate. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a simple yet effective way to keep track of their reading habits.
I was excited about those, but I would warn caution...the download link does not take you to any app store, the site or takes you to is not secure, then it immediately asks for credit card information. I am NOT saying this isn't legit, but be very cautious and do your research!!!
Good assistance 🎉 Congrats! Can you provide examples of how BookSlice customizes reminders to encourage consistent reading habits?
Congrats on launching this reading app! @waltertay Book summaries and reviews could be integrated to enhance the tool, helping users choose their next read more easily. This could make the app a comprehensive resource for all things reading-related.
As an avid reader always looking for ways to squeeze in more reading time, I love the idea of gamifying and habit-stacking the experience through BookSlice. What I have been missing si that AI-powered assistance to answer questions about what am currently reading. Wishing you guys tons of success with this launch! Signed up for that free trial.
Big fan of the idea! There is a similar app that gamifies fitness which I am sure you could bounce ideas off as well. I've been using GoodReads for a while, and like the social aspect of it as well as building out my own library. Would this be something that you could support? Also, it would be cool if it linked into calendars to schedule time for me to read based on my commitments, so I get the notification as well as it in my schedule. Other than that congrats on the launch!
I like the idea of "gamifying" reading and making it more accessible
What are your possible concerns that it can also cause the reader to loose deep-focus on the book?
And congrats on the launch! Looking forward to testing it 🙌
