We hope you will try out the Tertulia website and app, which the New York Times called “a sleek new app that takes a novel approach to online discovery.” All Product Hunt users get $10 off your first purchase! Use Code HUNT at checkout through Monday January 16. When we first started working on building Tertulia, we had spent months cooped up. More reading time was one of the only bright spots of the COVID-19 lockdown. We came up with the idea of creating a lively gathering place to showcase the best of book talk among writers and critics, but also among scientists or actors or entrepreneurs who could drop in on book talk happening in the "tertulia" that they find most compelling. We met with dozens of authors, agents and publishing executives who encouraged us in the idea to build a new online home for readers - and crack the long-standing challenge of how readers discover their next best book. We know we have a long road ahead to build a home for readers and we can’t wait to hear thoughts from sharp users!

Wow, great work on this 🚀. Congrats on the launch! Out of curiosity, what's the meaning behind the name "Tertulia" and how do you see the product evolving over the next year or two?

@saasdesigner Hi Bren and thank you for the kind words. "Tertulia" is a Spanish word for a type of intellectual salon (imagine loudly discussing books over a glass of red wine). As our product gathers book conversation from all over the internet it seemed like an apt name for us. (+ many people on our team are Spanish speakers!)

@saasdesigner @robertlenne Also worth noting earliest "tertulias" originated in bars and cafes in Madrid -- to discuss books, ideas, and politics...

As an avid reader, there's no question Tertulia is my favorite way to find new books to read and keep up on what's hot in the book sphere. To get curated recommendations from people I trust across industries gets me better outcomes in less time—I'm never without a good book to read now. Some of the book talk affirms my own opinions and some of it serves up surprises of books that I would never have discovered otherwise. Tertulia is like having a fabulous dinner party with your favorite bookworms: it's curated, fun, insightful, and leaves me with a long TBR list!

This is a great idea. I wasted a lot of time finding the right book and couldn't decide what I wanted to read as there are so many options. Tertulia seems a good solution to my problem. Congrats @robertlenne

The curation system is saving so much time discovering what to read next. It feels like Spotify for books. Beautiful experience and always great recommendations

Congratulations on launch. I love the co-op membership model. A couple ideas: 1. I would love to be able to assemble my own collection. For example, here are all of the books that my favorite crypto thought leaders have mentioned on Twitter or on their blog. 2. I would love to be able to see books that surfaced in newsletters (especially in the substacks I follow) 3. It would be awesome to be able to see book references from TV shows. For example, "The White Lotus Collection" or something to that effect. I'm going to purchase a book now. Thanks for inspiring me to read more (and better). I'll be a longtime Tertulia user. Congrats again!

@laurenproctor32 This made my day -- THANK YOU for all the kind words and encouragement. Super smart ideas. 1- We are currently working on a much more enhanced list/collection capability so we'd love to get your take once that's live in the coming weeks. 2- Absolutely! Also working on how we can do that at scale and in discussion with Substack:) 3- Great point. We've only started scratching the surface with a few articles like this one: https://tertulia.com/article/the... but we should make this a more integral feature for sure. You're right. Stay in touch and reach out any time to hello@tertulia.com.

@cuzalynda That's awesome. I didn't say this the first time around, but your product is beautiful. I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job executing the next steps. And I'd love to give feedback or endorse Tertulia however I can. I'll send over an email from my personal email and link to this thread just so you have me on hand if you want to talk. Really admire what you're doing and I look forward to following your growth.
