Wanted to read hard books but didn't know how, so I built an app to guide you through the process and make it enjoyable

I've always held a believe that you can get more from reading books than most think. Elon started SpaceX based on a few old Russian rocket books (seriously) and Jeff Bezos is said to be an incredible reader. Simply put, good reading is good thinking and only 2% of Americans read at the highest level.

That's why I created Synto (www.synto-app.com) - a micro-learning app that helps you understand what you're reading at a deeper level. We provide insights and activities to challenge your thinking in an enjoyable way, and help you relate the lessons from what you're reading to everyday scenarios. For example, we ask you to apply the lessons of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations to a scenario as if you were CEO of a startup, and ask you if some of today's leaders embody Marcus' stoic traits.

It's a prototype at the moment but will really help you in the process to remember more of what you read!

Any readers out there that experience this problem, I'd love to chat!
