Librida is a storytelling platform focused on people, participation, and ongoing creativity rather than finished books. Anyone can create and publish stories without gatekeepers or long timelines, allowing stories to start small and evolve over time. Designed to be social, Librida lets readers discover and follow authors, see what others are reading or writing, and engage with stories as they develop. Librida's acts as a creative aid — keeping human creativity first.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Librida because I felt something was missing in how we use AI for writing.
Most tools stop at generation. Librida starts there.
In Librida, a book begins with an idea — a synopsis — and grows into something structured, readable, and shareable. Each book keeps its origin, settings, and intent, so creators can revisit and evolve their work instead of starting over.
My goal isn’t to replace authors, but to give more people the ability to become one.
This is an early version, and I’m genuinely curious what you think — especially what feels right, wrong, or unfinished.
Happy to answer questions all day 🚀

@mikaellowgren I love how easy it is to use, and the collection of readily available library of books to choose from as soon as you enter the site. What's the long-term vision for Librida?

@smayerbvs Awesome you like the books! I also put a book in there about launching Librida on Prodct Hunt :-)
The long-term vision is to make books feel less like endpoints and more like journeys.
I want Librida to be a place where ideas live, mature, and occasionally surprise their own creators.

@mikaellowgren I can see children using this to create new books after they've exhausted a series from a favorite author. What kind of protections do you have in place during the generation process to ensure that children are not exposed to inappropriate language, themes, or hate speech?

@smayerbvs It is allways a challenge to filter out unwanted content, while keeping an open platform. I have worked a lot with Librida to have both symantic and keyword checks on content to stop certain types of content, like hate, self-harm, terrorism etc. A next step is to approach non-profit and authorities to get help maintaining the rule engine, as new keywords are popping up all the time.
The website crashes a bit when you read some of the books

@matthew_wooten Thank you for your findings. I’ve seen some issues in the newer ”page view” where I like the text to fit to a screen. It hasn’t been effortless to make it work as expected and it might still have issues.
I’m looking into it, so be patient.
The chapter scroll view works better in my own experience, but doesn’t bring the ”book feeling” the same way.
I’m guessing this is what you experienced, but please tell if there are issues anywhere else and I’ll look into it.
Cheers!
