Shortform | REMOTE | Full-stack Engineer | Full-time / Part-time | $100-200k
Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to learn? Do you have hundreds of books and articles in your to-read list, but wish you could extract the main ideas faster?
The goal of Shortform is to make the world's best ideas more accessible. We started by creating the world's best book guides, with in-depth chapter-by-chapter summaries, original insights building on the book, and distillation of ideas into actionables. They're like superpowered book summaries.
Our next goal is to index every idea on Earth and make sense of it. Specifically, we want to summarize and contextualize every meaningful idea published each day, in every form of media (books, articles, podcasts, videos, news, research papers).
Our first step was to build a Chrome extension that summarizes any page in your browser (https://extension.shortform.com/). Next, we're building content products to comprehend the world's information - for example, an idea explorer lets you see how a specific idea has been expressed throughout human history; a news summarizer shows the entire spectrum of opinions on a topic to help avoid groupthink. If ideas like these interest you, please apply.
