I built a writing app for fiction writers and artists

Hey everyone

So I'm a pastor and I also work in logistics. I m also a writer who s dreamed of making it big one day.

About a year ago I kept watching writers I know give up on their stories. And as someone who s been writing as well, I know that feeling. Not because they ran out of ideas. Because the chaos of managing everything killed the joy. Five apps, zero flow.

Hi, I'm Toan, founder of Nudgen, working to make outreach and retention less manual for small teams.

Hey Product Hunt

After spending years around data and automation, I kept running into the same gap: retention and outreach are important, but for small teams they are still too manual to do consistently well.

Please share knowledge with me

Hi All,

I am currently building an app for iPhone and Google Play store. Like many others, I am using Claude Code to assist with coding, and my general knowledge from school to fill in the gaps on the backend. I am heavily underprepared for the marketing angle, and was hoping anyone could share with me some of their tools, best practices, etc.

👋 Hello, I'm Vitalii Kozlo

Hello! I'm a freelance WordPress Designer&Developer. Part-time, I'm working on a self-funded startup project. Its end goal is to help people build a successful and useful for others professional life.

IT solutions may come and go, but the ultimate desire for a fulfilling professional life is unlikely to change. Finding such fulfilment requires more than just financial resources. It demands making a meaningful impact that contributes to a better world for us all.
What I'm doing?
Offline:
I've already talked with a few restaurant administrators about the quality of water in soups and drinks. I'm glad after our conversations one restaurant set up a good water filtration system.
Online:
You'll know closer to launch.

Hello from Derek!

Hey everyone, my name is Derek and I'm a pastor as well as a logistics professional during the week, and I've been building a side project called Storybourne in whatever time I can find outside of that.

It's a writing platform for fiction writers. The idea came from watching people try to manage their stories across five different apps and still lose track of their characters halfway through chapter twelve.

We went live a few weeks ago and have writers using it, which still feels strange to say. Chapters being published, readers leaving comments. Very small numbers but it's actually happening.

Excited to be on here. Happy to talk and collaborate, talk product, writing communities, or what it's like building something while juggling a full plate.
