This is exactly why I read HN

Thank you!!

Your LLM seems unfamiliar with *Canticle for Leibowitz.”

Yeah, apparently. This was done with gpt-4o. Will try claude-sonnet at some point next week, it's supposed to be better. At least in terms of being more "creative" not sure about getting this kind of reference.

It only matters if you care about the actual writing. Using an AI to write usually means someone doesn’t.

I just need a story line. Write as much or as little as you'd like.

Describing the characters helps making it more personal... and the result will always be more impressive in that sense.

Just launched Story Treasure a way to create illustrated children's books, motivated by the fact that I'm a portuguese dad raising two bilingual girls in Germany... very hard to find portuguese books around here!

This is impressive. I'm working in an adjacent space and one thing that has been a challenge is character consistency -- having characters in AI-generated art appear reasonably similar across different image generations. Your implementation looks to do a solid job -- any learnings that you're willing to share?

Can you provide some figures, in terms of profitability? How much did it cost to put together, what are the monthly costs to keep it afloat?

I write a book and give it away for free on https://book.railean.net, but it wouldn't hurt to turn it into a revenue stream.

How do you monetize?

I have a margin on the credits for the models. So it's a credit model and I sell them for more than I buy them.

German speaker in Portugal. :-)

That's awesome. Just did one.

haha, it's the ultimate uno reverse card. Did it work? There are some known issues with German titles on the Cover page, sorry if you've encountered that. I'm trying to improve it.

Writing something down in order to lose that “weight” is indeed the main goal of note-taking.

But most apps make this surprisingly hard… you first need to figure out if you should create a new note or append to an existing one. If new note, then in which folder? If existing note, then which one?

It’s too much mental burden when all you want ia jot something down and be sure you’ll find it later.

I made an app that’s great at this, just this. It’s basically an infinite page where you write everything down, in one continuous stream. Then it has some basic tagging and search so you can find stuff again.

Feel free to try if interested: PaperRoll.app

> But most apps make this surprisingly hard...

Not sure about other apps, but Google Keep makes it pretty damn simple and efficient

Was rather referring to “knowledge base” apps mentioned in this thread like like Notion, Obsidian, Logsec, Roam, etc.

Keep is quite simple as Is Apple Notes. But these, at least for me, become chaotic quite fast unless I’m very disciplined (and sooner or later there’s a day in which I’m not)

Thanks a lot for trying this out and for the suggestions!

Glad to hear the basic mechanics of "additive" notes is working for you. I have a lot of depth to add as you pointed out though, will go back to work :)

Have a nice Saturday!

Thanks for sharing this here!

Thanks for the positive energy!! Further platforms will come for sure soon.

Cheers!

Hey! Thanks a lot for the effort to put this answer together. Totally see your point.

I was going with the assumption that you "better show than tell". So, by having a landing page with so little info is intentional in the hope that it will lead to more downloads.

So far about 20% of all visitors download the app, which I think is a high number. But I can see how that won't scale.

Again, thanks a lot for the feedback

That sounds really impressive and if it's working for you just ignore us. Nice job! Would be fun to follow your progress.
