I'm Sinbad, solo dev from the Netherlands. This is my first post here.
I would like to pick your brains on something I think (at least some of) you have encountered. I'm running search ads with a 1.80 euro cap and I'm paying close to that per click. To make that back I need a meaningful share of clicks to convert to paid, and that is not happening enough right now. Which is fine and as expected when starting out.
I write novels myself, and that's the whole origin story: I kept losing time re-reading my own chapters just to remember details I'd already written. A character's eye color. A place name I'd mentioned once, three chapters back. Word and Docs weren't built for that. Scrivener is, but you still build every character sheet by hand.
So I built the thing I actually wanted: an editor where AI reads your manuscript and builds your character and world reference for you, instead of asking you to fill out another form. There's also a style assistant that flags repetitions and weak verbs as you type, and voice dictation for days when typing isn't the bottleneck, thinking is.
Inkbound is a browser-based writing app for novelists: chapters with characters and world-building in one place: a Codex.
What's different: Inkbound's AI reads your manuscript and auto-extracts characters and world elements as you write, so your Codex builds itself. A built-in style assistant also flags repetitions and weak verbs in real time, fully client-side.
+ AI voice dictation.
But No AI Writing.
