The problem isn't lack of content
Every day you face thousands of choices about what to read. Each choice costs mental energy. By the time you pick something, you're already tired.
And now the internet is flooding with AI-generated content. Finding something genuinely human-written and worth your time feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Why I built this
Hi, I'm Tereza. I grew up devouring books — one a day as a kid, reading under the covers at 2am. Writing built my career: one article landed me my dream job, another gave me an audience I never expected. Writing taught me to think clearly.
But lately I open my phone to read and 20 minutes later I've read nothing — just scrolled through options. There's too much. I don't trust most sources.
So I built Topics. A place where everything is human-written, human-curated. Just a few good things to read. People who care about ideas, reading and writing together.
