We built MERN stack book discovery platform

Blipps.io was started because Daniel and I didn’t know what to do with highlights on our Kindles - sounds familiar?

For avid readers and Kindle users, we have had to deal with websites with old-school designs or build our own manual systems to catalog our reading.

We designed a new way to discover new books - rather than only reading reviews, take a look at what others are highlighting.

By getting a taste of the book, we can make a more informed decision about our next reading adventure.

Our web app provides a facelift of existing platforms, with the following features:

📲 Import highlights from Kindle, Kobo or manually add a quote

📖 Highlights are automatically organized into books

😍 Generate highlights into screen savers or post them on social media

👯 Add friends and explore their highlights

👀 Join individual books clubs to see what everyone else has highlighted and engage in book discussions

If you are a bookworm or an e-book user with tons of highlights, we are really excited for you to give us a try!
