So, I completely f*ked it up as an uncle a couple years ago.
My niece Lola (3yrs) came to visit and I was putting her to bed and she asked for a book. I realized I had zero books for kids. I must say I was fast because I found a promotional toy magazine and ended up "doing something".
Next year same story, so when I was getting ready to go out and buy her a book it got me thinking: I work in tech, why don't I build an app so she chooses whatever she wants to have a story about and the app does it?
So I got 3 days on founder mode to do a quick MVP:
The experiment went more-or-less good, because she liked it but it had the issues of a 3-day job.
Since then I went back and forth testing it with my neighbors, coworkers, my friends, Lola's friends and parents I meet, and I solved the main issues people say:
So I feel I've came up to having a pretty solid version I'd love pro-feedbackers like you to test it. So if you’re a builder and a parent (or a Cool Uncle/Aunt like me), I’d love for you to test it with your kids and be brutal.
What sucks? Please, be brutally honest about it.
I set up a code for the IH community: INDIE40PARENTS (gets you 40% off if you want to use it properly, but I'm mainly here for the feedback).

What am I missing?
(As a PM I never got this experience and I have this love & hate feeling for having babies and kids as testers, it's weird and extremely challenging, so I might talk about this in another post)
