Nice concept. I really liked your About in footer where you have thoughtfully explained your vision of the product.

I also made a similar side project during quarantine: https://messagink.com/

I thought there should be a place to archive, discover create interesting conversations or create fictional conversations (text stories) since most app around this space don't let you and are too expensive.

Hey, I came across yours. It's got a lot of features. How is traction going?

[sagark1992]

Thanks. I like the idea that you converse and archive conversations there itself. Its great for real life conversations and maybe meaningful conversations.

About the traction, getting users has been hard. I made some mistakes in the beginning, I targeted the wrong audience. I got wrong feedback from family, friends, co-workers etc. Then I started cold messaging readers and writers on other writing platforms.

From the feedback I gathered 60% of the users asked for an app. They would like to read on mobile. The website is mobile friendly but still they want an app.

For writers mostly the feedback was that they don't want to create stories on website which is not popular. There are plenty of other places where they would write where they can get more visibility.

Its kind of chicken and egg problem. Still I cold messaged a lot of users through social media and got some users and stories.

This is my first side project so I am learning and having fun. :)

Want to have a Taaalk about running a side project? I have a few other side project people interested in a Taaalk like that.

[sagark1992]

Sure. I would love to.

Why do I have to continuously click to read it? Gets quite annoying after a few times. I like the model of Taaalk here where the entire conversation is already open.

This looks super interesting. I got hooked reading stories for an hour on this website.
