Books are a great source of entertainment and provide a shared perspective of the world. With short attention spans and the world moving at a much faster pace, information is available to us in a wider range of formats. How might we reimagine the book reading experience to make it a relevant form of engagement for the reader of the digital age?

Salt is an intimate shared reading experience with a multi-user subscription model that provides a platform for friends to read books together through shared motivation while also making contextual information more accessible. It focuses on enhancing companionship and context while you’re actually reading the book.

It enhances the reading experience by making it more interactive, social, and engaging while maintaining a clean, distraction-free interface. Intuitive interactions, such as seamless navigation, real-time annotations, and contextual insights, allow readers to engage effortlessly without disrupting their flow. The interface is designed to be minimal yet functional, ensuring the focus remains on the book. Underlying progressive features gradually evolve as users interact more, personalizing the experience to match their reading habits. By bridging the gap between solitary reading and shared discussions, Salt transforms reading into a richer, more immersive journey.

In short — "Add a pinch of Salt" to your reading experience.
