Kids feedback on trial... Lolaloos is live on TAAFT!
If some of you have already read some of my posts you'll know that my niece brought me here, and that as a PM in B2B SaaS I had to reinvent the wheel to deal with kids as my new user persona.
After very intense and focused weeks, I’m finally launching Lolaloos on Taaft.
For those who haven't read my previous posts: Lolaloos lets kids create their own books where they can be the stars.
Right now I'm excited but before clicking on publish I had to solve 3 "nightmares" that nearly killed the project:
-
The "Who is that?" Crisis (Consistency)
AI is great at art, but terrible at memory. If the character’s hair changes in the next page, a kid will lose interest of the story and the magic is dead. I became obsessed with image consistency. It’s a technical nightmare, but if you don't solve it, you don't have a product. -
The Dual-Persona Trap
I’m building for the User (the kid) but selling to the Approver (the parent/aunt/grandma). Focusing more on the parents by building features that IMO will only work as a way to pass the landing because they won't be used was my biggest strategic pivot. Moving away from "an app to create books" to "create a book with your kid where they are the star", from "screens that trap kids" to a family activity. -
The "Build Your Own Character" treat
Even though I said above parents are the buyer (and that's why you'll see that all the other apps are focused on the parents), I wanted to make Lolaloos for my niece, so, yes, parents must approve it, but kids should enjoy the process too. And build your own character is my way to do it. A little treat for the little ones (that I hope will make retention higher).
Today is a big day, as we'll be featured on TAAFT today and the doors for mainstream public are officially open.
I’m looking for 2 things:
- Your brutal and unfiltered feedback that a community like this can give
- And your support, as you how relevant is to rank high in this positions.
If you have kids, nieces, or nephews, I’d love for you to test it tonight.

Code: INDIE40PARENTS (40% off for the IH community, the one in TAAFT is 30%).
I’ll be in the comments all day. If you’re also launching today or wrestling with your idea good luck.
Alvaro, the dual-persona thinking is sharp — most consumer apps for kids never even name this tension, let alone solve it strategically.
But here's what I noticed: the way you described the pivot in this post is significantly more compelling than what your landing page actually says.
"From screens that trap kids to a family activity where your child is the star" — that framing is powerful. It speaks directly to the parent's guilt and desire at the same time. That's the emotional hook that converts.
What your landing page leads with right now doesn't hit that nerve nearly as hard. The parent landing on your page for the first time doesn't feel that same pull — because the copy isn't giving them the contrast you just gave us here.
That gap between how you talk about your product and how your page sells it is quietly costing you conversions from every visitor TAAFT sends your way. And on a launch day with real traffic, that leak gets expensive fast.
There's a specific copy fix that would close that gap — but it starts with identifying which parent emotion to lead with before changing a single word.
If you want a focused audit of what's bleeding on that page, that's exactly what I do for early-stage SaaS and consumer launches. Happy to take a look.
“This is such a real breakdown — especially the ‘consistency = magic’ point. Kids notice everything.
The dual persona shift (kid vs parent) is where most products struggle, and you handled it well.
You should test this in a live competition. $19 entry, winner gets a Tokyo trip (flights + hotel).
Round 01 just opened (100 cap) — best odds right now.”
