How we came up with an edge-cutting tool idea for writers

How it all started?

At the beginning of this startup, my cofounder was alone. he would write as a part-time even though he was a full stack developer . One challenge he faced when writing was having to keep track of anything he'd write. It is not evident, using sheets, or notes to remember every single detail from the previous thousands of pages , or remembering every single detail from your hundreds of characters , their arcs , or remember the different plotlines . So he decided to bring his idea to reality , which he did.

How did I join him?

I have always been driven with the idea of joining a seed startup and leverage it, although i had almost no skill in sales, marketing since i had a bachelor in CS.
so i would for hours refresh the several reddit, discord pages to seek for someone who need a cofounder. Thus is how i stumbled across his post and shot my shot. Then he eventually had me in , this is where i felt important , and had the confidence from someone willing to not downlook at me from my lack of experience.

How is the startup going so far ?

well !! frankly talking . Extremely bad 😂😂. people show interest but yet are not willing to pay to use.
It is mentally draining as I constantly think that my cofounder might think I am just uneffective and who knows might try to look for someone else.
I am in for a very long run, I every single day post across several social media platforms, reddit, hackernews,X,discord and reach out to close to 20 people daily. I either get ghosted , or they just turn it down.
But I will keep on it, was a bit discouraged , but regained track.
One important thing is we are realistic , as we know there is a need for this product,and the idea has been validated, else I would have not kept on working on it. But I trust the process. It will one day pay off.
