Launched yesterday. Here's what I learned.

Yesterday I launched Avooq on Product Hunt. The result was exactly what you'd expect from launching without a pre-built audience — silence.

I'm not discouraged. It confirmed what I already knew: distribution is the problem, not the product. Users who find Avooq generate full novels. The question I'm chasing now is whether they come back — and whether they'd pay to do it again. That's my PMF signal.

What Avooq does: describe the story you want to read or write, get a complete coherent novel instantly. The Entity Tracker keeps every character and plot thread consistent across hundreds of pages — the core technical problem nobody had solved for long-form AI fiction.

Currently focused on finding the readers who can't find the exact story they want — and getting them in front of the product.

If you've found PMF in a consumer creative tool — what was the moment you knew?

    Nice, congrats on shipping 🙌

    Out of curiosity — how are you handling support or user questions so far?

    I just launched recently and didn’t expect how quickly things can get messy even with a few users.
