reallyread.it helps you read better and read more. Better means longer, smarter articles. And more just means more. Our aim is to create a social media platform that's actually *good* for you. Deep reading feeds the brain and soul. Shallow browsing (scanning headlines) rots your mind, kills your ability to focus, and makes you depressed.
Hey PH! @reallyjeff and I grew up on the Jersey Shore and we've been best friends since pre-school.
A little over two years ago, we hatched a plan to fix commenting by prohibiting people from commenting on articles and stories they haven't *actually* read. We believe that commenting on something should be a privilege (not a right) and reading is an appropriate baseline expectation. So we invented a piece of tech that can identify whether or not a person has read something entirely.
This mobile app marks a bit of a new direction for us. Our ultimate goal is still to create community and civil discourse, but our preliminary focus is getting people to read, and to *care* about deep reading.
Play around and let us know what you think! We'll be here in the comments all day. 👋
