    The concept of "learning styles" has a pretty large mountain of evidence disproving its validity. Just a quick sample from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Criticism

    While it may be a marketing gimmick, it immediately turned me off.

      How do you redistribute money from your service to the authors?

      • miranantamian 2 days ago

        We don’t make profits yet but we will do probably something like profit share.

        • inatreecrown2 2 days ago

          would it not be more intellectually honest, and make for a more serious business to put payments to the authors in front of profits? because these payments they are a business expense.

        Can see this being really useful especially as the underlying tech keeps getting better. What video models are you using under the hood?

          the emphasis on self-help snake oil leads me to believe you know that this system would fail under the weight of actual information. if you find success, it will be on the backs of marks you conned.

            Not all self help books are like that. Self development changed my life. And that's just one of the categories we have. You can check psychology, history, science, startup books too. And we are adding more.

              Got any suggestions?

              • miranantamian 2 days ago

                Depends on what you want to learn but some good generic ones are the willpower instinct, atomic habits, the personal mba

                • soupfordummies 2 days ago

                  Added to the list thanks. I looked over Atomic Habits once and I've been meaning to dig into that one.

            These animations look AI generated. Are they? I have had a quick fly through one of the videos and could spot quite a few AI drawing glitches.

            • miranantamian 2 days ago

              Yes everything is ai generated!

              • smusamashah a day ago

                Sorry I couldn't sport any mention of AI on the website on a quick look.

            • miranantamian 3 days ago

              Check out a demo of the web app and the features here: https://www.loom.com/share/be2fd38790ea4797addd1bd31683eddd?...

                Looks impressive. Any plans to offer other creators the ability to generate their own animations from text content like blogs or articles?

                • miranantamian 3 days ago

                  Yes but currently our software for generating videos is very optimized for book summaries so it will not be as good... But we can do that in the future for sure if b2c doesnt work :)

                  Gonna be completely honest, if you want to draw in people with anything more than a casual interest in literature, your examples are an immediate turn-off. I suggest you spend time on subreddits of major genres + booktok + see what's trending on apps like Fable if you want insight into what books people outside of the silicon valley/techbro bubble consume and enjoy.

                  • miranantamian 2 days ago

                    Will do!
