Why I Built Readest
I’ve always been passionate about reading, but I couldn’t find an ebook reader that balanced powerful features with ease of use. So, I decided to build one! It’s been a rewarding journey learning new skills, working with technologies like Tauri V2 and Next.js 15, and hearing feedback from early users.
I’m here to answer any questions or hear your feedback. Thanks for letting me share my side project with this amazing community!
