WHY SUMMABOOK
- BUILT FOR ENGINEERS: summaries emphasise the "why", trade-offs, and real-world examples—not trivia.
- CLARITY IN MINUTES: each title is distilled into a short, structured brief with key ideas, pitfalls, and action steps.
- READ OR LISTER: switch between concise text and a clean audio player with background playback.
- BYTE OF THE DAY: discover one timely, high-impact pick every day to keep your momentum.
- CURATE YOUR LIBRARY: add titles to your Library to finish later and track what you’ve completed.
- SEARCH THAT SPEAKS DEV: find topics like "CQRS", "event-driven", "testing pyramid", or "distributed systems".
- RATINGS & CURATION: see what other engineers found most helpful.
- ASK THE BOOK: first of its kind functionality where you can query the book directly from your phone!
