A desktop application that reimagines your chat history into a book-like reading experience, with chapters, navigation, and structure instead of endless scrolling.
Chat apps are great for communication but terrible for revisiting conversations, with no navigation and require an awful lot of scrolling. This app explores a different approach, treating chats as something you can navigate and read, not just scroll through.
Think:
- Jumping to specific days or moments
- Navigating like chapters in a book
- Bookmarks
- Rediscovering conversations as memories
