Reading time well spent

Imagine a library of all the texts that you care about. No matter of ebook or article, essay or blog post. All your texts at one place. Searchable, shareable, organized in your collections. A text library curated by yourself, inspired by people you care about and accessable on all your devices. A library hosted on a decentralized platform, that keeps your files encrypted and secure. You keep control of your data and store the texts on a truly decentralized platform.

All created with a simple tool that let’s you recall your read knowledge and makes sure you never loose a read insight again.
A tool for distraction free reading without advertising, for an experience that focuses on the ideas and insights of authors and their readers and makes every minute of reading a time well spent.
You bring your own texts, your own books and Text Library provides a great experience to read, manage and organize your texts. We don’t sell books, we don’t sell ads, all we focus on is making reading more valuable to you than ever before.

Text Library allows you to do three basic things:

- Import a text, no matter if you found it on the web or if it’s an ebook, read it in a distraction free reading experience and store it in your personal self-hosted library.
- Interact and work with your texts, via highlighting, commenting and summarizing a text. Manage and recall your read insights, share them and collaborate with others.
-  Explore relevant texts and retain their information faster than ever before, via text summaries and highlighted quotes created and curated by other readers.

There are more great texts out there than we ever could read in our life-time. The challenge is to find the most relevant ones and to retain the essential ideas of these texts as fast as possible. Not every book has to be read cover by cover, some blog posts have their core idea in just one paragraph. How can we find out which paragraph is the one? Chances are that others have read these texts before yourself. Can we discover texts in a more efficient way? Together? That’s what we build Text Library for.

Some people want to have their own little private place, their own carefully curated and organized library. Others are looking for likeminded readers, want to share their insights and are looking for the opinions of others. They want to discover new texts, retain information faster and collaborate with others. Textlibary will be a place for both.
