This is just waiting to receive a cease and desist from publishers.

Fair concern. Book2Course doesn’t redistribute textbooks or make them public — users upload material they already have access to, and the output is for private study, similar to notes or summaries. That said, I’m being careful about this and staying within fair use boundaries.

I wonder how this would work if fed the combined histories of the acts and life of Thomas Ripley. Highly educational I should hope.

Congrats on the launch, cool idea and something I could see myself using.

Tangental question: why is it that these AI generated websites all have a similar UI?

> why is it that these AI generated websites all have a similar UI?

I believed they were primarily trained on Tailwind CSS templates. The Mothership that spawned all of them is at https://tailwindcss.com/plus

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support :DD Yea the website admittedly does look AI generated and not so unique. Will have to change in the next update! Now just in beta stage.

Copyright issues aside, I'm confused about products like this. An AI that can vibe up an app to do X can also just do X.
