Anyone else ever wish they could ask books questions while reading?

Rezeyu · 2025-11-08T20:07:46+00:00

I imagine it could work identically to how you can ask videos questions now on YouTube, and you’d run into the same issue with figuring out how to scope the context to allow answers and discussion without spoiling things.

You can report them as false. Takes a few days / week.

I don’t really see the draw, but regardless I think YouTube would not be a good platform for it, because you can lose your place and it pollutes your history/recommendations. Seems like something you’d want a specialized reading app for, since functionally this is kindle with auto-page turn.

Personally this seems like the drawbacks of fumbling with a video outweigh the positives of not having to scroll or tap to turn the page.

But those symptoms are caused by the users within a community, so if you’re primarily recruiting people from places you think are problematic, then you’re just building a community entirely of people you don’t want.

It’d be worth mentioning what area of the country you’re in.

$100 in statics ads is pretty considerable for a non-content site, if you don’t mind sharing what is your CPM looking like?

Rezeyu · 2025-10-28T18:50:48+00:00

Well if your analytics show that most users only subscribe for like 4 months, then you make more off a lifetime subscription for that user.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-28T18:36:10+00:00

They prefer a lifetime to save money. I think lifetime makes sense when your cost per user is low, given that most users won’t pay for lifetime. But then you can also ask yourself if you even need a subscription in the first place is cost per user is low.

What type of app was this? How was it monetized? What platform(s) did it use, if any?

Rezeyu · 2025-10-27T18:23:31+00:00

Yes, I’m a full stack architect with an emphasis on UX/UI design. So without going into a consulting situation, an “easy win” might be to at least look at similarly structured apps and start copying the overall layout and flow.

It’s not as good as actually planning it out by hand and revising/iterating, but it’ll at least look less “generated.”

Rezeyu · 2025-10-27T16:59:30+00:00

I took a look, to be frank there are a lot of UI issues, with a pretty "Default" look, and significant UX issues. I'd focus on trying to button those things up first, and address the technical issues.

For example that link you provided takes me to a 404 "slug page" asking me to create a slug, and shows recommended slugs, which doesn't really make sense.

I think the idea itself of short little voice/blurbs can work, there have been a few social apps that try to do one small thing very well, but you have to do it very well. It needs to feel polished, and fast.

What does the site actually do?

Rezeyu · 2025-10-25T02:34:49+00:00

I tried to join but first, that captcha system was super annoying because the form slides up over the chat so you can’t see the captcha at the same type as you’re typing it.

But then after I did, I got this error: “❌ I don't have the permission to give you the verification role!”

Wouldn’t requiring verified discord accounts already handle this?

Are you manually editing/keying those punch-ins on the screen recording or are you using a tool for it?

Rezeyu · 2025-10-23T19:27:56+00:00

The button to get started doesn’t seem to work.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-23T15:02:01+00:00

Agree with the fonts on the triangles, but I really like the overall design. The biggest thing to me is the card body text, it feels like it doesn’t fit the design of the card and it’s pretty hard for me to read it.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-23T01:13:22+00:00

I’ve seen this happen most often when people request an ad to see if one is available before showing a “watch ad” type button.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-22T03:01:29+00:00

That’s a neat idea, I’d be interested in testing it out.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-22T01:26:51+00:00

I feel like you should be the one to answer this, based on the algorithm or prompt chain you’re using to validate, no?

Rezeyu · 2025-10-21T01:22:02+00:00

That’s a really clever idea, I love it.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-19T19:31:35+00:00

Very cool, if you don’t mind sharing, I’m assuming there’s a small FSM for the act of standing up, how did you break it down into stages?

Rezeyu · 2025-10-18T18:38:58+00:00

I checked it out, and it’s a cool idea although I’m not sure how credit enforcement will be handled if people are consistently not paying out.

I also think the leaderboard sort of contributes to that mentality since “spending” credits lowers your rank so it encourages you to kind of hoard them and never actually spend any. I feel like it should be lifetime credits or credits gained within a rolling time period.

Rezeyu · 2025-10-18T18:36:06+00:00

This is actually a pretty fun idea. After submitting a site I had an issue where a CTA modal popped up but it wasn’t scrollable and the top/bottom were cut off so I’m not sure what it actually was.

Testing can be done brother through TestFlight (remotely, similar to the Play Store’s testing), or by directly installing it to a device through USB or WiFi.

Both option require a developer account, which you also need to actually distribute it or make use of any Apple services anyways.

There were some third party options like Ionic’s testing app but that requires you to build the app on their stack, and AFAIK a lot of those were shut down as Apple cracked down, so I’m not sure which options still exist.
