In the past, I've always wanted to develop a long-term reading habit. I've tried some 'read-it-later' apps, and although I saved a lot, I couldn't stick to reading and often gave up halfway. It seemed like I wasn't really absorbing what I read, and I didn't gain much from it. After 300+ days of trial and error, I finally figured out the ultimate reading method and turned it into a tool - Readbay. ● iOS:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/re... ● Android:https://play.google.com/store/ap... Here are the 4 secrets on how Readbay helps you to 'Read Less but Grow Exponentially': 📌 Secret 1: Quality > Quantity We curated top-selected articles from influential great minds across various areas, ideal for employees and students who value self-growth and want to improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in work and life. 📌 Secret 2: Consistency > Intensity ✨Just 1 read a day & 7-day cycles✨ make it the most relaxed and fun way to stick with reading. The colorful widget ensures you never lose your streak! 📌 Secret 3: Deeply Internalize Worthwhile Reads Get inspired by an AI-enhanced insightful coach by your side. It's incredibly useful! It inspires thoughts and provides insightful interpretations. Each note you make in Readbay evolves into a personalized toolkit for your future self. 📌 Secret 4: Streamline It All Together Auto-sync to Notion for continuous growth. 🚀2024 is just around the corner.

@ouyangke congrats on the launch! Really great job!
Aaron McKeehan
@ouyangke Neat! My only question would be, how do you define "influential great minds"? What metric was used to determine if someone was a "great mind"?
Chris Puricelli
@ouyangke I liked it, but it stopped working..

💡 Bright idea
Looks stunning. How can people add reading material/essays to this? Is it like bookmarking? Scrolled the home page but was curious. This is super neat and gorgeous. Might give it a try, congrats on your launch!

This sounds like a fantastic tool for developing a reading habit! I'm curious, how does Readbay specifically help in deeply internalizing the content? Also, the feature to auto-sync with Notion is interesting.
Xie
Maker
@bishal_nandi2 Thanks!!! Past AI products often focus on summarizing reading content, but we strive for a more customized approach with Readbay. There are two key differences: First, when you highlight content that inspires you, the AI-coach provokes your thoughts, generating associations relevant to your own scenarios. When you're puzzled, it provides answers, ultimately forming structured notes. Second, the notes you internalize can be continually reviewed and refined in the future, forming a toolkit for decision-making, such as mental models, productivity hacks, and so on. We'll keep digging deeper into the 'internalization and absorption of reading', practicing the philosophy of 'less is more'. We're looking forward to your valuable suggestions.✊✊✊

Interesting product idea from an insight that is all too familiar! We all crave the feeling of productivity that comes with 'collecting' articles to read at some undefined future time when we'll have the desire (and time) to read them, it feels good but it's not actually productive. Hopefully Readbay gets us all reading more! Good luck with the launch.

@al_gordon Oh my, you've totally nailed the point of Readbay. You've even articulated our ideas better. I was exactly like what you described in the past, and even now, I think the illusion of productivity is hard to overcome, which is why Readbay was created. It helps me explore the true power of 'less is more'. I hope it can help you all! Thanks again!!❤️❤️❤️

@ouyangke This is awesome! 🚀 Readbay seems like the perfect companion for building a sustainable reading habit. 😊 I'm curious about the AI-enhanced coach – how does it work in providing insights and interpretations? Does it tailor its suggestions based on the user's reading preferences or goals?

Congratulations on the launch, Ouyang! I've had a similar struggle in failing to maintain my "reading streak" and have long wished for a solution just like this. I think this app perfectly reflects the principles from the book "Atomic Habits," where one small step towards a goal can add up significantly. I'm looking forward to the iterations of your product!

Congratulations on the launch. Readbay.ai looks awesome! I love its Rainbow Project. I'm someone who enjoys capturing pictures of rainbows in my daily life, lol. So, it's really exciting to see the rainbow element incorporated into reading now.
Xie
Maker
@blue1088 That's great to hear that you like it! When we initially planned how to help everyone develop good reading habits through the digital micro-habit of seven days a week, we found that a beautiful rainbow just happens to correspond to this element. Sometimes, beauty is productivity, haha.💖💖
kaiiiicookie
Looks nice ! I've been trying to find ways or tools to cultivate reading habits, and the' read-it-later' is just so me.Perhaps I should give 'less is more' a try.Starting with one article a day might alleviate my stress or let's say,yhe unrealistic fantasy of reading a lot in one go, lol.
Xie
Maker
@kaiiiicookie Yes! We came up with the idea to make a change when we realized this issue was troubling. Persistence is a process. Let our brains first perceive reading as an easy task, then add other fun and attractive elements, and reading will easily integrate into life. You can give our app a try. It may not be perfect yet, but we will definitely make it better! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Readbay claims steady, compounded growth. I'm curious to see if they track and share user data on how engagement with one article translates to long-term learning gains.
Xie
Maker
@kshitij_mishra4 Yes!!! Syncing reading data with Readbay is super convenient, just one click! You can share right after finishing an article or from your calendar. Looking forward to practicing the philosophy of 'less is more' together.

Read later often turns out to be never read. This product is genuinely excellent; reading a little every day feels effortless. Also, it seems the landing page isn’t yet optimized for mobile? The experience could be better.
Xie

@bonvisions Yes! We're working hard on optimization! We're also glad that you like Readbay's philosophy. We aim to liberate those long-forgotten reading lists, ensuring good articles are read, understood, and absorbed into a practical decision-making toolkit!🔧+💼
