Honestly, this side project has been a really great experience, from a personal perspective. It has changed my morning and evening routines - the fact that I had to watch/annotate a lot of these talks, I have been exposed to ideas/aspects otherwise I'd have never been, as well as getting a good reminder of the lessons I’ve read in some others.

I really wish it could be as useful for others as well! But we’d need a bit of help in determining whether this is the right format. (2 talks per week + email subscription) If you got a chance, leave us some comments on what you think of the concept and why you would or would not use it!

The short story why we started with this: We found ourselves with a lot of books we wish we have read - with little time, and sometimes (to be honest) even less patience to actually get through this ever-growing list. On the other hand, we wanted to escape the high noise-to-signal ratio news sites, link aggregators, and the harmful, compulsive behaviour we developed by using them. We always enjoyed authors presenting their own ideas, ways of thinking first-hand, much more than the usually dry third-party book summary apps you can subscribe to.

Any plans for adding tags/categorization?

We'll definitely consider it! Just needed to start with something :)
