How it works
- 01
Open it
No sign-up and nothing to install. You are reading within a few seconds.
- 02
Read one page
The book's sharpest claim, the three or four ideas that carry it, and one thing to do today.
- 03
Flick left
The next book slides in, ranked from 1 to 100. It feels like scrolling and reads like thinking.
Every great book has one or two ideas worth keeping. The other three hundred pages exist to convince you of them.
Hundredfold keeps the ideas and skips the convincing. One book, one page, a two-minute read. Then you flick sideways and get the next one. A hundred books, and a hundredfold return on two minutes.
Built for the minutes your feed gets
The queue. The commute. The lift. The loo. Those minutes currently go to a feed that leaves you with nothing. Hundredfold is the same thumb movement with a better ending.
Nobody’s taste is on the list
The 100 are not my favourites. The ranking comes from cross-checking ten established lists — the big business-book awards, Harvard Business Review, The Economist, Fortune and others — and weighting a judged award above a popular vote. The rank is the only opinion on the page, and it isn’t mine.
More than books
A second shelf holds the ideas that run the world: compounding, leverage, Goodhart’s law, Chesterton’s fence. Same deal. One idea, one page, one move you can make with it. Self-help is next.
How the pages are written
Each page is drafted with AI from the book and the best human writing about it, then edited by me. Every quoted line is checked against the book. A page never reviews its book — it argues the book’s case at full strength and lets you decide.
When
It is nearly ready. Follow along and you will hear the day it opens.
