Hey Product Hunt! You may have seen some of our stories on here, but I'm so excited to finally share our app with you! When you try it, I think you'll agree it's a way better experience than reading on the web. Fullscreen makes a *huge* difference. Joe and I would love to hear your feedback! Thanks!! PS - I wrote more about what we're doing here: https://medium.com/hardbound-co/... PPS - I talked even more about what we're doing on a podcast here: https://soundcloud.com/hardbound...

@nbashaw Ive seen quite a few Hardbound stories and I just love the format! I spoke with Nathan a while ago when I met him in NYC and he popped me on the beta. I could see this going further than stories - onboarding, recaps, even pitch decks 😛 The more we try to tell stories, the more need there is for this type of platform. I also think (as per a discussion we had about what the hell happened with e-books) that for our smartphone formats, e-books aren't ideal... its way easier for each of us to consume a tweet, a blog post, etc (small 'wins') - An e-book is longer, harder to digest, especially if on a commute and stop-starting etc. Something like Hardbound works perfectly here. I really do think this will be huge

@nbashaw I have to say this is pretty dope. I like pretty much everything of it. Best app regarding stories on iOS for sure in my opinion.

@nbashaw congrats on releasing @hardbound. the most interesting thing about this product to me is that its focus is not on rapidfire and random dopamine hits, but rather on high quality visual content where people actually learn something. i enjoy hardbound like i enjoy a newspaper -- over a cup of coffee or breakfast where i can put in my full concentration and feel like i've been productive. (i'm also psyched you use an sms-bot for the new story notifications...obviously)

@nbashaw It has been amazing to see the beta come from the earliest form, with just one (rather glitchy) story, to a full featured polished app. I know how crazy hard it is not only to build an app and get a dedicated user base of beta users, but also to get the courage to press "Submit to App Store". Couldn't be more thrilled that the app is out in the wild! Excited to see the next stage :)
