👋 Hello Product Hunters! This is the start of the year, so it is time for good resolutions. Do you plan to read more this year? Nonfik is a tool that could help you find relevant ebooks, so definitely check it out. It can also be a game-changer for ebook writers and lead scoring. I will definitely follow how the project evolves.
Sebastian Potcher
Nice. That will be useful to find relevant ebooks.

Happy New Year, Product Hunt! How many resolutions did you make around professional development that you’ve already broken? If you’re anything like me, you’ve read your fair share of bad ebooks/free guides. But hopefully you’ve also read a few good ones. The problem is it’s hard to tell beforehand which ones are good and which ones are bad so you’re left filling out form after form hoping you’ll find what you need. Nonfik is changing the mindset around gated content with a social reading model that prioritizes engagement over vanity metrics and uses reviews to push the best content to the top Valuable resources get the exposure they deserve, while readers like you can skip the slog of SEO winners and losers, and just find the best answers to questions about growth, sales, entrepreneurship, and all the rest.

@kate_erwin definitely let us know what you think!

Wonderful job here! This is one of those things that makes you think - "how is this not something that already exists?!?!" A marketplace for free business content. I love it. Can't wait to dive in. Nice work team!

@shushtain That's fair. We do acknowledge the irony there. but nonfik has 100+ PDFs on the platform, and we'll be adding more regularly. plus part of our work is to provide baseline reviews, so you have a realistic expectation of what you are/are not getting before ever sharing email. We felt the value prop was strong enough by comparison. what makes you disagree?

@shushtain haha acknowledging the irony. We want people to have a space to engage with the best books instead of passively reading them which requires some kind of account system. But you can find detailed reviews, key insights and prompts before putting in any info or creating an account on https://nonfik.com.

@alissaannepagano @shushtain it's not the information that's social but the platform. you can write comments and then start a discussion with others around those or you connect with peers to see what they're reading and what they like. Would you consider product hunt social? what is a better way to describe this sort of product that prioritizes transparency and collaboration/socializing but still requires accounts to prevent bots and trolls? I don't think simplification is what we're after at all, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on what would be a more fair accurate message!

I heard about the development, but I really didn't realize how many topics of free ebooks there were going to be before I saw them all. Does the bookmark have a name?

@831ach Honestly, the sky's the limit when it comes to ebook topics. This is just business/professional categories — think of all the possibilities! & of course. The name's Mark....Book Mark 😎

Great product guys. There's definitely lots of great content in ebooks, but I don't want to give my email away for every one of them and get an email drip from 10 different companies.
