Would love your feedback and questions on this project I started a couple weeks ago.
After finishing Robert Greene's book Mastery, I searched for ways to see how much I learned from it. I wanted to check how much I actually learned, as well as take my understanding of Mastery to another level. But there was nothing available online that tested me.
There were only YouTube videos, podcast interviews and book summaries. These are all fantastic for revision, but not so great for testing oneself. I remember thinking: "I wish there were quizzes based on non-fiction books."
And so, seeing that there was nothing available online, I decided to try create a quiz myself. I had recently read Derek Sivers fantastic book Anything You Want. It's a short, quick and brilliant read for first-time entrepreneurs. So I made a quiz based on that, which you can take yourself here: http://www.bookgym.xyz/#anything-you-want. I showed the quiz to Derek Sivers himself and his response was: "BookGym looks like a wonderful idea! I just did the quiz based on my book. That was so cool!"
The basic premise of BookGym: after you finish reading a best-selling non-fiction book, you can take the accompanying quiz for that book and check how much you learned. After each question, you'll get detailed feedback, depending on whether you got the question right or wrong.
I am dedicated to doing one thing, and one thing only: creating the best interactive quizzes based on best-selling non-fiction books. I want to help you remember (and learn) the key messages of a book.
The main question therefore is: would you pay for this service? If yes, why? If no, why?

Thank you for your help!
p.s: feel free to list your own :)
I have some ideas and have tested some with moderate success via landing pages.
But would love to connect with anyone else that is interested in this area. I truly believe technology has a role to play in alleviating loneliness.
If there are startups or companies currently solving this problem, please link them as I'd love to check them out.
Otherwise, how can we solve the loneliness problem? What would help you to not be lonely?
