ReadHere
Lightweight, privacy-first PDF & EPUB reader in your browser
Hey everyone, I just launched ReadHere—a lightweight, privacy-first web reader designed to fix digital reading friction.
I was sick of heavy apps locking me into their ecosystems (looking at you, Kindle) or forcing me to create an account just to upload a private PDF or EPUB to their servers.
ReadHere changes that dynamic. It runs instantly inside your web browser with zero sign-ups or installations required. Because it handles everything client-side, your books, highlights, and side-by-side reading journals stay entirely on your own device. It even works completely offline.
If you want a clean, distraction-free space to read and take notes without giving away your data privacy, check it out. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I like that you're positioning privacy as independence rather than just security.
For a lot of people, the bigger frustration isn't that their books are stored online—it's feeling like their library belongs to an ecosystem instead of them. Shifting ownership back to the reader is a much stronger story than simply being another EPUB reader.
