I got tired of trying to explain my product with a single image. Has anyone else faced this problem?

I’ve been posting about my product for a while, and I kept running into the same problem.

I could make a nice poster, write a short caption, and post it.

But it never really explained what I was trying to say.

A product usually has a story behind it - why I built it, what problem I ran into, what I learned, what changed, etc.

Trying to squeeze all of that into one image felt impossible.

So I started experimenting with telling the story through multiple connected visuals instead.

Not just:

“Here’s my product.”

But:

“Here’s the problem → what I noticed → what I tried → what I learned.”

I’m curious about something:

When you share your own projects online, do you find a single image enough to explain the story, or do you also struggle with getting the full context across?

The 4 images below are one of the experiments I made.

I built StoryMint because I couldn't figure out how to properly market my own product

I recently launched a travel companion app called Roamer, and after building the product, I ran into a completely different problem:

How do you actually explain your product to people?

A normal poster could show the UI, but it couldn't explain the whole product.

I wanted to create carousels where every slide connected to the next and actually told a story.

I tried combining ChatGPT, image generators, and design tools, but I kept getting:

  • disconnected slides
  • inconsistent visual styles
  • too much manual work
  • lots of time spent fixing AI output

So I started building the tool I wished I had.

That's how StoryMint came together.

The idea is simple:

One rough idea → structured story → connected visuals → editable carousel.

You can plan the story before generating anything, review/edit the content, generate the visuals, regenerate individual slides, and then export the final carousel.

I've just launched it and I'm still very much in the stage of learning from real users.

I'd genuinely love feedback from people here:

Does this solve a problem you've experienced? What would you change or add?

If you want to try it:
StoryMint

And I also launched it on Product Hunt and peerlist if you'd like to check it out:

Thanks - genuinely curious to hear what you think.

I built a travel app because I was tired of planning trips across five different apps

Every trip I planned somehow ended up spread across:

  • Google Maps
  • Notes
  • WhatsApp
  • Screenshots
  • Spreadsheets

I kept thinking, "Why doesn't this feel easier?"

So I started building Roamer.

The goal wasn't to replace every travel app. I wanted one place for itineraries, places, notes, expenses, and trip planning.

It recently launched on the App Store, and now I'm trying to learn from real users and improve it every week.

Has anyone else built a product simply because they were frustrated by their own workflow?

What's the one thing that always becomes messy during a trip?

For me it's usually organization.

Flights are in one place.
Accommodation is somewhere else.
Saved locations are in Maps.
Ideas are in Notes.
Expenses are in another app.

I always feel organized before the trip starts, and then somehow everything becomes scattered.

What's the thing that always gets messy for you while traveling?
