Thanks for putting pictures into books that lack them. This is hero-level work!
Given this is basically lead gen for books, you'll be able to get authors on board pretty easily to do AMAs and the like, which is cool because selling books is a pain.
What's more interesting to me personally is the other side, the annotation potential for this - create my own cards from my books with my thoughts, publish those etc.
@shloky That's (part of) our plan, Shlok! And adding your own is #1 on our next features priority list, indeed! :-)
Currently obsessed. Being an avid reader and quote junkie, this is the perfect product for me. Major kudos!!
Like this product and the founding team. I used to use Blinkist to evaluate if I wanted to read a book or not, but I like Nugget better because there are more direct quotes as opposed to reworded summaries. Good job, Ovi!
@OviNegrean -- Downloading it on my Android, will definitely reach to you on Twitter with the feedback.
The new way business books will be written!
I've been lucky enough to see this product evolve from the very first build (with one book!) and am deeply impressed with how far Ovi and his team have taken it. It's really hard to define a new way to do anything, a new habit, but nugget definitely creates one. It's cliff notes for the Twitter generation, and I think very soon people will write directly to this format instead of fluffing up their books with crap.
Congrats Ovi!! Can't wait to install this (when I finally receive my new phone :D)
@jourdanb21 Hehe! New phone and filled with nuggets. Double win! :D Thanks Jourdan!
Really cool Ovi! I just tried it out and love it. Obviously it's not the same as reading the book, but it gives a really strong synopsis. I was able to get a great review of a few books I read before and wanted to go over again but never got around to. Also a few books that were recommended by friends but much farther down the reading list. Learned a lot of little gems and provoked me to think a lot in a similar a fashion a normal book does.
How fast do you plan on adding books? What books are next?
@sydney_liu_sl We're adding between 2 and 5 books / week. But v2 will help us add them a lot faster. So we're working on that already ;-)
Thanks for your kind words!
Well this was bound to happen.. Our site was down.. Luckily our team got it right back up! :-D
Way to go nugget team!
Hey there! I'm Ovi, one of the co-founders of nugget!
Get Smarter in 5 Seconds: Swipe Through the World's Best Books.
Do you wish you could read more books... but never find the time?
Think over the last six months. Imagine how much smarter you'd be, if you could get the main takeaways of just ONE more book per month.
Now, you can read books 5 seconds at a time.
With nugget, you can swipe through the BEST business books. It's like Tinder for your brain.
nugget is a highly visual app that helps you discover, remember and share the best content of books that make you better.
Think GoodReads quotes meets Instagram. A nugget is highly visual book soundbite. A short standalone quote from a book, that brings value on its own. nuggets are either an inspirational quote or an actionable quote accompanied by a relevant background image for more impact so you remember it easier.

@ovinegrean Great to see Nugget here!
Product seems useful and I'm giving it a chance since I've always looking for an app that give me smart pills from nice books!
@rodrigoprior Rodrigo, I think I'll use that: "smart pills from nice books" :D Love it! :D
@arasheedphoto Thanks Adam! 80/20 would be book summaries. We're the 80/20 of 80/20 :-D And BTW, we have the 80/20 book in the app ;-)
Quick question, how easy is it to share these on Twitter, Insta, etc. & will it tag the authors?
@ryanmccready1 Hey Ryan - it's 2 taps to share on Facebook / Twitter / Email / Text. Istagram does not have an API yet so no :-(
We will tag the authors as of next version. Did not get it to have it in v1..
Love the idea! I already enjoyed 'blinkist', but this is even more effective! Looking forward to using it! Good luck!
@j3ffyoung Wow Jeff! You went straight to my heart with this one. I like Blinkist too, but I think there's place for both of us.
Different flavours of becoming better through books, in an efficient matter :-)
Very well done! Great work guys! Soo love the app with no signups and other crap.
@nikitabakirov We hope so! :)) We have affiliate links for the books from day 1. And we'll have some other monatization features later on. Thanks for your question.
@rocketclubco Didn't thought like that bout it, but I can see some similarities :-)
