Is this real? This feels like a parody of a product aimed at a straw man generation so addicted to tiktok that they can't possibly read anything longer than a few words at a time.

Fair, thank you. It’s meant to meet people where they are. The swipe habit and fried attention already exist, so this puts a book in that format to help someone start reading on their own and find self guided learning entertaining. There’s a normal page view if the swipe is not needed. I’d say reading one or two lines at a time is better than most tiktok feeds.

As someone who is a member of this generation and has been using a similar utility I AI generated, yeah it helps a lot. The most consequential advantage for me has been it preventing me from getting into a loop of losing concentration during a long and obtuse/boring paragraph and then having to start back at the beginning of the paragraph again.

In the past getting through that loop came at the cost of comprehension because I would read the words just to get through the paragraph without entertaining any side thoughts, but now I can safely process a sentence, think about it, and return when I'm ready without losing my place. It's frankly been my favorite way to read books lately.
