Just launched Story Treasure a way to create illustrated children's books, motivated by the fact that I'm a portuguese dad raising two bilingual girls in Germany... very hard to find portuguese books around here!

This is impressive. I'm working in an adjacent space and one thing that has been a challenge is character consistency -- having characters in AI-generated art appear reasonably similar across different image generations. Your implementation looks to do a solid job -- any learnings that you're willing to share?
Can you provide some figures, in terms of profitability? How much did it cost to put together, what are the monthly costs to keep it afloat?

I write a book and give it away for free on https://book.railean.net, but it wouldn't hurt to turn it into a revenue stream.

How do you monetize?
I have a margin on the credits for the models. So it's a credit model and I sell them for more than I buy them.

That's awesome. Just did one.

haha, it's the ultimate uno reverse card. Did it work? There are some known issues with German titles on the Cover page, sorry if you've encountered that. I'm trying to improve it.
