How would you validate an AI interactive story app ?

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking about building an app that blends traditional reading with RPG elements.

The idea is simple: instead of just reading a book, you step into the shoes of the main character. You can make choices, chat with other characters in real time, and push the plot in different directions. Think of it like a text RPG, but with the depth and narrative quality of an actual novel.

Before I write a single line of code, I want to figure out if there's actual demand for this. What would be the best way to validate it quickly?

A few specific things I'm wondering:

  1. How should I test this lean? A landing page with a waitlist, a Discord server, or just a quick prototype using ChatGPT/Claude to test with early users?
  2. Where do interactive fiction or text RPG fans usually hang out online?
  3. If you've worked on AI storytelling products before, what major pitfalls or hidden costs should I watch out for?

Would love to hear any thoughts or frameworks you've used to validate similar ideas. Thanks!

looking for advice on other platforms

Hey everyone,

My traffic has been down crazy fast recently, especially page views and app installs compared to the same period last year.

I’m thinking about switching or expanding to other platforms like TikTok Ads or Google Ads.

How are your Meta Ads performing right now? Are you running ads on other platforms, and what’s working best for you?

Is anyone else facing a drop in traffic right now?

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but recently our traffic has been declining like crazy especially page views and installations. I’m comparing this to the same period last year and the difference is huge.

Even the traffic from Shopify Ads,

How are things looking on your end?
