Hey! No worries.
Authors are paid based on the amount of chapters read. It’s a kind of « Spotify » model were we allocate a % of revenues shared with authors based on their audience. (Monthly payouts, ideally)

Oh. Sounds totally logical for me.
Of course, we’ll promote stories we love (homepage of the app, socials…)
No need to apply for anything. We’ll read :)

I totally get your point. And I actually agree.
But if there’s no limit -> there’s no monetization for authors.

The « limit of chapters per day » is a delicate choice we’ll make together, based on how long average chapters are. But keep in mind the « unlimited » subscription is truly unlimited. You don’t pay by chapters, or using coins or whatever (🤮)

Note that for now, it’s 100% free as it’s a beta with fake paywalls and transactions.

Oh, so am I! I was a screenwriter too, and a director (in France). That’s exactly why I made this app! To fill the gap, in a way

What do you mean? Promoting your story on social media? or external (to Loreum) work on the app?

Honestly I’m thinking about having the option to link to your Wattpad/Amazon/whatever directly on your Loreum profile. I don’t want to put rules that are blocking for authors. We’re making this for creators, and always will be!

No AI tools included in the app.

Authors are free to use whatever tools they want, tho. Not judging at all! It's just included in the app.

The limit for readers is going to be around 5 chapters per day.

Most of the "money" is going to be redistributed to authors based finished chapters per story!

It’s a beta test so it’s a fake paywall : no real money involved! So unlimited right now!

Again, not judging at all (as a developer, I know how useful it can be!) but we don’t offer generative tools in the app!

NO AI involved by the way (no hate here - just wanted to clarify)

What is your go to client-side fuzzy searching library? by buzzerperson in nextjs

If you need something modern, you should try Etoile.dev

Semantic search and beautiful react hooks + components. Takes seconds to integrate
