In the last 30 days, Josh and I built not just a project, but a business that we expect to change our lives and give back to the community. We are thankful for the opportunity and all the amazing other builders. It was a pleasure building beside you all. time to rest 😅

Someone should have created a project to help streamline judging these 10k submissions 😅

Look at that massive drop off at the first age gate 😭 Time to optimize onboarding..

Hack Unlocked: Add your app store page metadata (title, description, etc) to your i18n localizations and let @lingodotdev translate it for you 🌎

We made it! Congrats to all the projects already in there. They are all freaking awesome 🚀

We made it into bolt.new/gallery 🎉🎉🎉 Check it out: bolt.new/gallery/categories/…

I underestimated how valuable localized paywalls are from @RevenueCat. So many different currencies 🤯

Redesigned the book reading experience. Very happy with the result. Now to make it look good on iPads.. #bolthackathon

One of the slides from our submission 😅🫠

Just added Sentry to the app AND backend edge functions to catch errors in the book generation process. I feel more at ease already..

Cloning voices through @elevenlabs is my new hobby. I wonder what will happen if I record and clone audio from my cats 🐈‍⬛🤔

Parents can now clone their voice with a 10 second sample recording so ALL stories can be read by them! I stole my wife's voice for this demo 😅

FULL story localization with @elevenlabs and @lingodotdev! This is nuts and freaking awesome. Our @boltdotnew hackathon app now supports 32+ languages with full stories and voices in your preferred language. #bolthackathon #buildinpublic

Should we do a Product Hunt launch for storyhero.site? #bolthackathon #buildinpublic

Hearing a totally new unique kids story read aloud by AI using @elevenlabs still blows my mind 🤯 It sounds like a professional voice actor every time. I can't wait to add the v3 expressions when it rolls out!

The App Store is brutal… Never reached out to support or even gave a reason.. And it’s not the only one ☠️
