From the beginning, we've been guided by the belief that great ideas are constructed brick by brick, line by line, voice by voice.
The ancient Library of Alexandria was a living network of scholars, scribes, and seekers. And we believe the digital Alexandria should be no different.
That's why we've adopted “Shaped by Our Readers” as our design philosophy.
Every feature, every fix, and every refinement is a response to something you've told us: a comment, a request, a spark. Whether it's the desire for deeper reading tools, clearer navigation, or more personalized guidance, we're listening. And we're building with you.
Hi all,
Thank you for building something so cool! This was released at just the right time - I just wrapped up a backpacking trip with a friend where we'd read The Republic together, one of the best reading experiences of my life, and I was trying to figure out how to replicate the experience when it can be hard to find reading partners. I am loving reading with Virgil so far! The Divine Comedy has been high on my list for a while, this helped lower the barrier just enough to get going. And the design of short pages has made me realize that some of the intimidation I feel with harder books is just that I can't read them at the same fast pace I'm used to. Definitely helps me slow down and focus - an excellent choice.
