Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Aung Zay, and I built LingoLit because I wanted to read classic literature in the original language — but every tool I found either dumbed down the text or hid features behind subscriptions. LingoLit takes a different approach: you bring your own AI key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter), and the app gives you a beautiful, distraction-free reader with instant context-aware translation. No accounts, no tracking, no hidden costs. The library is powered by Project Gutenberg, so you get thousands of classics for free — from Tolstoy to Cervantes to Kafka. You can also import your own PDFs and EPUBs. I'd love to hear your feedback — what languages are you learning? What books would you want to read in the original? 🙏
