Geeke is a social platform that aims to connect Readers and Writers in the most awesome way! It is a site built for the young generation with the goal of modernizing the delights of books.
For starters, it is a place to find new books to read, all for free! Our cozy reading experience allows you to read anytime, anywhere, even offline! And here's great news for all budding writers out there - you can also write your own books here! And it doesn't just end here...
At the core, Geeke is a social media mashed with books. This means you can meet new people, follow your favorite writers, comment & discuss books, and much more! We even have fandom clubs.
Of course, we didn't just stop there. Since we aim to build something cool for today's generation of bookworms, we also keep doing some crazy experiments. Allow us to ramble out some of them -
Love watching movies with friends? Why not try a Group Reading Session?
Passionate about a Fandom? Join or start a fandom club to meet new people sharing a common interest and also find relevant Fanfics.
Don't just want readers to read silently? Add songs to your chapters that match the vibe from the entire YouTube library.
Wanna try some challenges? Hunt for treasures between the lines of books and redeem them for coins!
Got some coins? Spend them on profile frames, cool animation for your messages, or skins for your Library. There is something for every book lover out there!
Writers, feeling stuck while writing? Let our AI Writing Assistant help you with some ideas and suggestions!
Want to remain connected with your friends and followers in an interactive way? Love sendings Snaps? We have something similar but for books - Moments!

Geeke's answer
The current platforms for books are boring and dull and do not offer much beyond reading ebooks.
The new generation needed a better platform built like a social media as well as offering unique ways to make books more fun & interactive.

Geeke's answer
Hey everyone! This is Divyesh Lakhotia, the founder of Geeke. I am a student from India currently pursuing my Bachelor in Computer Applications. I started working on Geeke back in 2021 when I just entered my 12th grade.
Why build Geeke?
Yes, there are plenty of websites already available online for reading and writing books. But they don't offer much beyond that. Mostly they are just a downgrade and a cheap alternative to an actual book.
Even big sites like Wattpad started destroying the few extras they had and transitioned into another typical site focused more on making money rather than making the site more engaging (I had been active almost daily on Wattpad since 2017 before the community started becoming dry).
That's when the idea of Geeke was born. It felt that the internet deserved a better place for books. Ebooks may not provide the same feeling as reading an actual book but there is so much more that only they can offer.
I wanted to build a social media that is familiar to existing platforms on the internet that the young crowd loves using. But of course, modified for books!
For a long time, the idea remained in my mind alongside most of my novel plots. But here we are, at last, aiming to build the most awesome and fun place for all book lovers

Sure there was basically a cartel in social media. You saw coordinated censorship campaigns to ban the former president of the United States for example. But I wouldn't discount the amount of political interference there as well. The last administration admitted to flagging individual posts for the social media companies. But it's also true there is a lot of coordinated censorship even without state interference.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
