Hello everyone,
This is my first post on Dev.to.
I don’t usually publish on social platforms, but this community feels like the right place to share something I’ve been working on.
I’m Luca, an Italian solo developer and a reader.
When I finish a book, I often want to talk about it — share thoughts, compare interpretations, understand characters better. But not everyone around me has read the same book, and sometimes I just want a companion to think with.
So I asked myself:
“What if I could talk with a virtual reading companion — someone who knows the book as well as I do?”
From that idea, I started building Clulib, a platform where you can:
- upload an EPUB/PDF/TXT
- chat with an AI that answers using the book’s text
- talk with AI-powered characters grounded in the original story
- join or create small book clubs to discuss what you’re reading
I’ve been working on this for the last months, and I have many ideas for the future — but I need external feedbacks to understand what direction Clulib should take.
If you want to try it, here’s the website:

Thanks for reading,
Luca
