Thanks! If you mean something like the Kindle.. No that's not on our future plans. Our current roadmap is - make desktop versions stable - create the mobile app - add more community features (something like goodreads but also integrated in the books you read on the app)

I really enjoyed the article, particularly the admission of leaving the books unfinished. If reading may be seen as a rational activity, the choosing of a book I think, should be mostly istinctive, and so should deciding to abandon it.

I've been working on a Ebook reader called WizRead with a friend for 2+ years now, as a side project. The goal is to create a platform where users can read and share their reading stats, goals, ideas, by also providing a modern & friendly UI.

Currently we have only developed a desktop version for macos/windows/linux, but we are willing to conquer the mobile too!

I'm currently finishing my bachelor in CS in Rome, and have been feeling this often. I'm 24 and feel a bit lost. When I started 5 years ago I had never programmed (in my high school we studied latin for 5 years, and I don't remember a single word), and basically had to teach myself Python for an exam, delaying the others, (we had 4 exams per semester, and couldn't keep it up).

Then I had the opportunity to start working for a remote company writing 2 webapps in reactjs (no guidance on the code, I had to learn all by myself with courses, youtube etc. because I'm the only one writing the frontend)

In the meanwhile I stopped the university for a year to only realize later that I was missing my academic education. After all, having a guidance on what to study makes you feel safer, the world is so complex and full of different things, that the university gives you the illusion of learning the "right" and "indespensable" thing. Trust our path, they say.

But now I'm here again, 1 exam left (on ancient Artificial Intelligence, based on Norvig's book), and I don't really know what to do - Artificial Intelligence Master ? - Computer Science Master ? - Sabbatical Year to learn by following rabbit holes, hoping to find my real self ?

In the meanwhile I'll probably see the AI take my job.

The great future I once imagined seems so unreachable now, I'm demoralized. I wanted to create cool and hard things, but I find myself chatting with LLMs nowadays, and I think, is this worth?

(How I migrated my tech career into a plumber career - coming soon.)
