Summary

We asked Read Something Great founder, Louis Pereira, about building an app that helps people discover timeless articles on the internet. Louis has enjoyed building various apps on the internet for the last decade. After trying various no-code platforms, he chose Bubble because it allows him to prioritize his ideas over the capabilities of the tool. Read Something Great helps people discover timeless articles on the internet in a world where content is constantly overwhelming, seeking to slow down and read something that's made to last. The app works by serving up links to five timeless articles across different categories, allowing users to click and read or smash a button for new reads. Louis Pereira built Read Something Great over 3 days as a fun side project, and it has been successful, averaging over daily users. He is excited about the future of his app, which aims to help people consume content in a more healthy manner, and plans to build features that align with this goal.
