where are you building them? How much does it cost to build?


Thank youuu we’ll definitely do!


You can use it for free and I can give you unlimited usage, although not licensing for now! Didn't see your email. Send me an email at myhnusername@shortbread.ai


I'm a woman and ex-creator on an app like this. AI matters as a productivity tool as all content platforms struggle with getting more content, but yes there's a bunch of other important things


We use LoRA models with stable diffusion models. They can be trained quickly with minimal 30-50 images of your subject. (https://civitai.com/articles/2099/lora-models-and-how-to-use...)


we actually removed most of the tracking because they're not necessary, should be updated in a new release


What tracking is necessary and thus you haven't removed?


contact info & identifiers, same as most apps (tiktok, instagram etc)


Thank you for checking out the app - more will be there! We thought we'd launch early and learn what people like before committing to too many projects


good instinct. for content-based things, though, it's really hard to get good information about usage if there's not enough to round out a MVP, so I'd recommend fleshing this out if you want to track more than just initial downloads/clicks. in the early days of reddit, I think for the whole first year, the top posters were the founders, and they created spoof accounts to make it seem like it was more than two people posting. just so readers would have something to see. in your case this is more evergreen content so you probably don't have to go to quite these lengths, but point remains that a media platform is only as useful as the value of the media on it


It’s webcomic romance stories. And the-billionaire-spends-all-his-money-on-me romance is a popular trope, out of others. There’s long been a market for this for late night binge read. 50 shades of gray also came out of this market. It is a bit different from the Pulitzer and NYT bestsellers.

You might also underestimate how many of your favorite writers ghostwrite stories like this for a side income.


It’s a tool for human creators. The stories are written by writers we found from platforms like Wattpad, Kindle and Chapters. Then the art is made by artists using the AI Studio where they control the characters’ pose and facial expressions. That’s the production process.

So if this works, all creators get profit. It should enable more human creators to make money, since previously they couldn’t complete a finished product alone.


G point - kinda did that for HN so people don't expect Marvel stuff, but might be overdone


I'm not sure how that would convey that. Is Marvel not for women?
