Ask readers what they thought.They'll tell you what they remember.
A week later, the slow chapter is a blur and the joke that landed is "I liked it". Silly Purple catches it while it happens: the exact line, the feeling, the place they put the book down.
The usual way
- A Word file by email.
- A form at the end.
- "It was good!"
- No idea who finished, or where the others stopped.
With Silly Purple
- A real ebook, in any browser.
- A reaction on the line, the moment it lands.
- A question right after the scene.
- Who's reading, who finished, and the chapter where they stopped.
A reader built for feedback.And reading still comes first.
Your readers don't get a PDF. They get our own ebook reader, built for one job: catching what they feel, at the line they feel it, without pulling them out of the story.

Questions,answered.
Who are my readers?
Anyone you invite: friends, your writing group, your newsletter, readers you trust. You bring them. We don't run a marketplace of strangers.
Do my readers need an app or an account?
No. They open the link in their invite and sign in with that email address, by link or by code. Nothing to install, no password.
Which files can I upload?
Word (.docx) or PDF. A PDF needs real text in it. Scanned pages aren't supported yet.
Can readers download or copy my book?
There's no download button, and every book is private to the people you invite. You can remove anyone's access. Still, nothing on a screen is copy-proof, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Does the AI read my manuscript?
No. The AI summary reads only what readers wrote and the short passages they picked out, with names replaced by R1, R2, R3. It runs only when you ask for it.
Can readers see each other's comments?
No. Each reader sees only their own notes. Only you see everyone's.
Can I change the book after readers start?
Yes. Upload a new draft, check it, and publish it as a new version.
Which languages?
The site and the reader speak English and Hebrew. Your book can be in either, right to left included.
What does it cost?
Nothing during early access. Readers never pay.
