Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m August — dad + builder. This is Libronauts. My wife and I kept buying “personalized” kids’ books that felt… like weak tea. The writing was strange, the art felt templated, and the personalization was basically your child’s name pasted in 12 places. So we built something better: a real storybook crafted around your child. Never a template. Always a new story where your child is the hero. What makes Libronauts different: • 📖 A genuinely new story crafted around your child • 🎨 Cohesive, beautifully illustrated, one-of-a-kind pages — not clip-art swaps • 👦 Your child sees their name (and face, if you choose) in print • 📚 A keepsake-quality hardcover made to live on a real bookshelf (except during bedtime storytime) At the end of the day, what matters most is simple: kids see themselves inside a real story that’s entirely their own. We’re really proud of what we’ve built, and we're super excited to share it with you! I’d love your honest feedback. What would make a personalized book feel truly special to you?

Quick heads-up: today is a soft launch.

The create flow is live through preview, but checkout is temporarily paused while I push fixes (I’d rather pause than let people hit a dead end).

If you want early access the moment checkout opens, drop your email on the preview screen waitlist—I’m turning it on in waves today and I’ll notify you first.

Also: if you try the flow and tell me where it felt confusing, I will love you forever (and fix it immediately). 🚀

Hello, all!

We've spent the last couple of weeks shoring up weak timbers, building brick walls, and basically giving Libronauts the renovation it deserved but was too polite to ask for.

Product Hunt said no to a re-launch (fair), so consider this your "we knocked down a wall and found a bigger room" update.

What's new:

  • Richer, more emotional illustrations

  • Faster order-to-doorstep time

  • Even better character likeness (even a half-blind collie dog would say, "Oh yeah. That's the kid.")

  • Stronger titles, richer stories

We're a tiny team making personalized picture books where your kid is the actual hero of the story, not a clip-art sticker slapped onto a template. Every book is written and illustrated from scratch, which means there's no other book like it in the world.

If you checked us out at launch and thought "almost," come take another look. We've been busy. libronauts.com
