Those well-known people are not affiliated with me. These are just book recommendations by those people. And I did put their images on purpose as it makes the site more community looking and trustworthy. Should I mention that I have no affiliation with those founders/ceos?

Until and unless one is not using the original content from the books as is, there is no copyright issue. I am though worried about using the book covers as they might be an issue. But for now as indie maker I am going with it. If I get a legal notification from someone then will remove the cover images.

Totally :) Thanks to Stripe Atlas I am able to build this website and try to make a business out of it.

Thanks for this. I am in fact from Pakistan but resident in Bahrain currently. And yes, I had to move out from Karachi due to security situation.

T&C and Privacy pages are there... For some reason not showing in the footer... I am checking up on it... and will fix it.

I thought about it a lot about putting a free tier... but the work that needed to be done (code) is not there yet... for sure will add the free tier section where you can read at least couple of books for FREE

Changing to 85/15 based on feedback. Is that fair?

Terms of use and privacy statements are there... for some reason not showing up... I am checking up on it...

naah... its real... maker here.

You can subscribe to wits.io

Thanks. This is right. $5/month and $49 a year. I havent really figured out the details of profit sharing with authors yet... Which I will do once I have some people willing to contribute and after checking whats fair.

Thanks. I used blinkist for a while but the books were totally irrelevant to me. You can start the 7 day trial to get access to all the books...

Naah.. Its real number :)

Its just a start... I wasnt sure about the number hence started with 50%.... I can bump it to a bigger number... What makes sense? 70/30... or 80/20? or 90/10?

Being a Pakistani, it is not easy when it comes to visa-free travel to other countries. This website intends to show the best countries to immigrate from developing countries. Also serves the purposed for people in developed countries to think about other options.

This was the reason I kept away from gamifying it. People may not deep read and share better lessons that they learn and instead just keep sharing one liner quotes instead.

Thanks for amazing suggestions.

For A, there is currently contributions by me and I am trying to get more people in. I just wanted to get some feedback and potentially get some users in the community to get started.

For B, you make a very good point and I have been trying to see how one can best solve this problem. I am thinking of combination of user's lessons shared, likes etc that will give collated contributions. Plus, I am thinking of involving AI later in the stage to vote down contributions that are repeats and keep uniques on the top. But, currently I got no idea about how to do that with AI.

For C, I felt it too. But I was trying hard to get some people to do just that. I think I will try to onboard people more personally now.

Thanks and this has been very helpful.

Follow up question. Do you think its a good idea to gamify this such that you read/share everyday to keep a streak and if you dont share for one day your streak will go back to 0?

This is savage :)
