Hey — I'm Damon, and I built Z Tales solo. The idea came from a simple observation: the bedtime stories kids love most are the ones where they're the hero — their name, their look, their little fear of the dark woven into tonight's story. That's magical and basically impossible to mass-produce… until AI got good enough to write, illustrate, and narrate one in about 30 seconds for pennies. I'm not a parent myself — I came at this as a storyteller and builder. So after shipping v1, I spent weeks on the parts that make bedtime actually feel right: every story is required to end calm and kind (no scary twists), read-along highlighting with automatic page turns, and narration paced for winding down. For the interactive stories, while the kid is deciding what happens next, I generate both branches in the background so the page turn is instant. It's early and I'm building in the open, shipping improvements most nights. I'd love blunt feedback — especially on what feels magical vs. gimmicky, and where the flow drags. You can try it free without an account, and I'm happy to talk shop about the build too (Next.js + Supabase + Stripe + a lot of prompt tuning). Thanks for taking a look 🌙
