How I turned Readwell’s AI book discovery success into a completely new Gen Z app concept using no-code tools and one prompt
TL;DR: I spotted Readwell trending at #11 on Product Hunt, saw a massive gap for Gen Z BookTok culture, and built Litloop — a TikTok-style book discovery app — under 2 hours using free no-code tools. Here’s what worked, what failed spectacularly, and the surprising winner.
The Spark: Readwell’s Success Revealed a Bigger Opportunity
Yesterday morning, I found Readwell climbing Product Hunt with 138 upvotes and a “Launching today” badge. The concept was solid: AI-powered book recommendations based on your taste, mood, and bookshelf photos.
But something clicked immediately.
BookTok has over 370 billion views. Millions of Gen Z readers discover their next obsession through 30-second videos, not static recommendation lists. Yet there’s no native app connecting this viral video culture to actual book discovery and purchase.
The gap was noticeable: Readwell solved AI-powered discovery, but Gen Z discovers everything through vertical video feeds.
