Ask HN: Would you guys like to have a Wikipedia for book summaries?
Hey guys! Currently brainstorming on the next thing to work on (previous project: www.onecentmovement.org where we were turning everyday transactions into opportunities to give to charity through a round-up logic).
I've been going through our idea list and need some feedback/help here. One of the top ideas in our minds now is a Wikipedia for book summaries.
Problem: Are there books that you would just like to not read but know the summaries?
Solution: A place where users can submit their summaries and dig the good ones right up to the top.
Would you use it?
- rpq1480 13y agoSure. And there are plenty of people who miss the rush of getting an "A" on their English papers who would happily write the content for you.
- gnus 13y agoBTW, here are some great book summaries by Derek Sivers himself! http://sivers.org/book http://sivers.org/book
- samsnelling 13y agoGnus, I think something like that would be really useful. I've been messing around with summarizing public domain books for (http://summary.io http://summary.io) summary.io. If you want to do something together, let me know!
