About
Byzans is a tool for passionate readers. Using the product, you can search for new books, save them, discuss literature, and communicate with fellow bookworms.
Product idea and general facts
Byzans combines the strengths of two major competitors - the Amino literature section and the Goodreads platform. Amino is a network of communities dedicated to a wide range of topics including literature. The second serves as a social cataloguing portal for readers. Byzans was the first App to match cataloguing with book discussions. The idea belongs to French product owner and LANARS’ client Simon Gauchet.
Byzans was planned as a tool for passionate readers. With the help of this product they can search for new books using ISBN, author’s name, or book titles, save them to various lists, discuss literature, and chat with soul mates.
From the target audience perspective, the Byzans platform is a social network for readers of any age and nationality. The target audience is book lovers aged from 25 to 45 from the USA, Western and Eastern Europe.
The product interface is available in English, German, French and Russian.
