Hey PH 👋️ and thanks @chrismessina for hunting us! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share Uptime with you. Did you know? Every year, more than 2 million books 📚 are released, and thousands of courses and documentaries go online. The selection is so large, if a person was to read one book a day, it would take them over 365,000 years to read them all! We live in a world where, with the entirety of the world’s knowledge in the palm of our hands, we’ve never had so much access to information. Yet largely, we don’t! We are drowning in information and thirsting for knowledge. On a personal note, after 10 years as an executive at YouTube and Facebook, I wanted to help build a place for safe, curated learning that’s also fun and memorable -- and I met some amazingly talented people who felt the same! So we got together and built Uptime 🚀. We offer “Knowledge Hacks” — which distill into bitesize visual stories the very best books, documentaries and courses from the world’s most inspiring minds — all from sources you can trust. Uptime in a nutshell: ✅ Authors and creators you know and trust ✅ Curated topics which matter most to you ✅ 5-min story format to save your time and have fun learning 🧠 Watch, listen & read modes scientifically proven to be more memorable 📵 No fake news, no ads 📵 No doom scrolling 📵 No fluff Where you come in: 👉 We’re on a mission to help people gain easy access to the world’s best knowledge and thrive in a fast-changing world, because knowledge is power. We’re thrilled today to announce that we’re live on both iOS and Android with over 1,500 Knowledge Hacks and are adding more than 30 per week. During our initial launch, all of our content is free, but we’ll be introducing the Uptime Subscription soon. We’d love for the PH community to come check it out and get early access to help us decide which Hacks to build next. For those sign up first, you’ll have access to our best subscription offer when we transition to our subscription model. We’ll be here all day to answer your questions and receive your feedback! Please comment below and follow us on Instagram @uptime.app. 🥰 A sincere thank you from our entire team from around the world: @jamie_true @jbekhor @cambruzzi @lea_sam @joebotdj @humberto_mogetti @joesimms

I'm super excited about the Uptime platform and team. It combines some of the best trends in snackable, educational content with an editorial angle that splits the difference between Blinkist and the Kindle Unlimited Reading Library. "Hacks" are a new kind of multimedia summary that play like Stories but allow you to go deeper and leave with specific, actionable takeaways. I'm excited for the Product Hunt community to dig in and take a look!

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Jean, SVP of Product & Design at Uptime. We made a special 5-min Hack of “The Product Hunt Playbook” by Nick Costelloe for this special occasion. We learned a lot from it ourselves while preparing for this launch, and of course knowledge is always better shared! Check it out here https://to.uptime.app/ph. Would love to hear your feedback and thoughts about this Hack and our app. Thank you so much!

Hello! Interesting idea - could you please share a few specific points as to how it exactly differs from Blinkist (I saw that @chrismessina mentioned a certain 'editorial angle'), getAbstract and others? I really believe in the concept, hence why I would love to learn more!

I really loved your App 👏👏

This is really interesting. There's a good selection of content and it's well summarised. It looks like it's completely free right now, what are your monetisation plans?

Love the way the book summaries are designed. 1000+ books etc for free... That's very good 👌

Wow! This is great! Keep up the amazing work 🔥

For someone who works 15+ hours everyday I personally want to thank you for this product and making my life 10x easier. 😇

@pj_walker and Uptime team, sounds awesome and looks promising to solve the today's information overload. Congrats with the launch! Any plans to introduce API to enable external integrations?

Definitely a big problem I face - so many things I would like to learn and read, but don't always have the time. Thanks for sharing!

This is an incredibly beautiful,useful and informative app, thank you so much for sharing it! I was extremely impressed by the extensive content and fluid graphics and animations in the app! I would just like to ask, would the developers be looking to implement a dark mode option to the app? That would help immensely with some night time usage, thank you so much!

Been such a pleasure being part of the team bringing this to life! hope you guys like it 😻

Great product and great summaries. Totally recommend it. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Hi, Learning from a book has never been so easy! I loved the audio feature which allowed me to learn new things while doing other tasks at home. I also liked that your hacks go straight to the point with clear take-aways, it seems to be working really well with my memory. I’d love to be able to save my favorite hacks and quotes. Thank you for sharing all those insights!

Hey! Great content and so easy to consume. Keep up the good work! 🙌

Amazing product. Well done guys!

This is really cool. There is a ton of potential in this space and it's a meaningful use of time for people. Good luck!!

This is so smart, I'm excited to check it out! Sometimes I feel like I'm too impatient to learn anything 🥸 This should help!

Love it! The summaries are awesome. I have little time to read lately but scrolling through these is helping me create a wishlist and get some good ideas too.
