Interview with Natalia Krogul, the co-founder of the Uncover app

It is such a pleasure to host the co-founder of the Uncover app, Natalia Krogul on my blog today. Her app Uncover is the reader’s dream. Download it from Play Store.

What exactly is the Uncover app?

Uncover is for sure a new way to explore books. In the app you can find book recommendations from other users grouped by them into themed collections. You can scroll trough them as on any other social media like instagram or pinterest.
It is the only mobile app which allows users to search books by tags so it’s exceptional book finder for every occasion, need or mood.
But all in all this is the platform that gathers creative people passionate about their favourite topics, genre or characters who are inviting you to take a look on their bookshelves.

How is it different from Goodreads?

I don’t think there is even a need to compare Uncover with Goodreads. We’re now in a perfect moment for book lovers, finally bookish apps are flourishing! There was a time that there was no alternative for Goodreads, now the market is changing. Readers can choose the platform that is tailored to their needs. Uncover should be a go to choice for curious readers who are craving connections with other book lovers like them. You can find and follow users that match you taste with ease. If you like to read at your own time and pace without a pressure to read fast or write long reviews, if you are seeking inspiration and want to have some fun, we are the alternative for you.

What made you create it?

Our everyday world is very efficiency- driven. I’ve noticed that lately it spread into reading habits as well. I couldn’t find any app that would just make me feel joy of collecting and recommending books without putting an effort. I imagined endless stream of little book worlds and a database that can find you a book on every topic or mood. And that how Uncover became an idea for a product.
Without paid reviews and stars, without dull genres, immense categories or another bestseller lists but with the community of people who are sharing their passions, knowledge and stories with books they are reading. Let the topic bring people together.

Is this the first app you’ve created?

For me that’s the first one, yes! Having my own bookish app was kind of my dream for a long time. The idea was flourishing in my mind a while. I’m so happy that it actually happened! Andrew, Uncover cofounder on the other hand is an experienced app developer, creating android apps for years.

Tell us little about the brainstorming sessions.

It is much harder than we anticipated. Lots of sleepless nights and constant idea changing is just the tip of the iceberg. But it is very rewarding at the same time. When you finally get to this one idea that makes you smile, everything changes and you know that this time and effort was worth it.

What languages does the app support?

Currently we only support English as the main app language but we do encourage all people to come in and test it out. Of course you can still make collections in other languages and get discovered by everyone.

From where can readers download it from?

For now it’s available only in Google Play but everybody keeps asking for iOS version, so we will do everything that’s in our power to make it happen as quickly as possible.


Tell us a little more about the app and your vision regarding it.

Of course. The Uncover community is still growing but we’re creating safe, non-judgemental space to chill out being surrounded by books. For now the features we’re building are focused around creativity. We want our users to have fun and create something special. Of course we will develop the platform according to our users needs but the goal stays the same- to bring back the pleasure of reading!

Uncover Founders:

Natalia Krogul: The right brain of the project, product owner and first of all book lover. If you check her books and collections in Uncover you would learn that she’s a plant lady with the obsession on puzzles and mysteries.

Andrew Ryl: The left brain of the project, responsible for the tech part of the platform. Find he’s profile in app to discover new books about mafia, actors and any other scandalous topics.

As a future BILLIONAIRE, the most important conversation with yourself: If you want to be a BILLIONAIRE, you have to change your habits and make it instantly happen. There is a luxury or there is the old pattern of your old habits. If you change your subconscious mindset, your habits start to shift. If your old habits change = Your LIFE changes. Take the first step. All human beings can achieve their goals. The main issue is, you are not a tree programed by the creator to be a tree. If you plant a tree it can only grow. The tree can never be a human being or an African lion. A bird can never be a tree. The horse can never be an African zebra. I really can say that you can change and re-program your mind into the mindset of a BILLIONAIRE. Our wrong pattern mindset has not been programed to think like a universal BILLIONAIRE. We have been programed to think like employees as someone who lives from paycheck to paycheck. The case is you have been born to be a BILLIONAIRE. If we go back to the animal kingdom: Why is an eagle called the king of the bird domain? Because he flies in an atmosphere where no ordinary bird can follow him. Why is the lion called the king of the animal kingdom? Because that big cat demands its respect. The African lion is not taller than an elephant; an African lion is not heavier than an elephant; the subconscious mind of a lion does not allow him to run away from a massive elephant. He vibrates subconsciously as the king of the animal kingdom. Warren Buffett, the second richest man, has been programed to vibrate subconsciously as one of the richest men the world has ever seen. He can´t be any other than to vibrate on the frequency of a BILLIONAIRE. He has been programed to be among the richest men on the planet. See, you must re-write a new program that changes your subconscious frequency into the mindset of a BILLIONAIRE. A mindset that demands billions of dollars.

Morhaf Al Achkar obtained his Ph.D in education and is currently a practicing family physician at the University of Washington. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Since then, his research has focused on the experience of patients living with cancers. His first book is based on interviews he did with 39 patients who live, like him, with advanced illness. He explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience. Using his deep understanding of philosophical concepts, Morhaf shares his understanding of love from the perspective of someone aware of his finitude.

The first was on Resilience and Meaning. The second, his memoir, was released only six months before the first draft of this project. In Being Authentic, he wrote ideas about love but did not develop them sufficiently. So he is completing that project here◆

about the author

I’m Jack Sherwin, and I’ve been a music teacher in China for three years. During my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar and writing. Although I haven’t been writing for long, I’ve always had such inclinations since I was young. In the beginning, I, like many other people, dream of having my work be one day adapted onto the silver screen. Hence, I started an independent comic studio to create my works I can call my own. I also talks at expos. Unfortunately, my two projects with a major company failed, and I thought my dreams were shattered. Later, with the pandemic happening, I was quarantined for three months. During this period, I decided to do something I’d never done before—write novels. I received astonishing success from it and it has made me what I am today.

EXCERPT REVEAL: THE NEW AMERICAN STATE BY DIMITAR AVRAMOV

The New American State is a book about the challenges facing the modern U.S. state and the attempts of today’s rulers to expand the gray area within it for their own or someone else’s benefit. This is a book warning that it is entirely possible for today’s rulers to push the American state to a condition in which there is a physical and institutional blurring of the boundaries between the branches of government. It is even possible for the United States to go backwards historically in terms of citizens’ rights and freedoms. Two dangerous trends to change the state and state system are at hand.
