Hey HN!
The backstory of Zeneca
What would you do if you had 10 million dollars? I told my cofounder Joe, that the the most important difference in my life would be building a large personal library.
He thought, well, he can't get me a real library, but what about a virtual one instead?
That got us excited. We looked around, and found existing solutions were a bit meh. Most people share their books in plaintext. What if there was a space where you could showcase your books and be proud?
Zeneca's goal is to do just that and more. All of us spend a lot of time on social networks. What if we spent more of that time being social about books? We hope Zeneca is a canvas for you to share books and connect with others.
Right now, here’s what you can do:
You can share books and get a cool handle, like this:
www.zeneca.io/joe
www.zeneca.io/stopa
You can share favorite quotes and send hearts (see video in home page)
And, the more books you add, the more like-minded readers you discover.
Fun fact: we built Zeneca in clojure front and back.
We’re really excited about this and would love to hear your feedback. And of course, we would love to see your library :) -- Feel free to share a link in the comments.
