Show HN: An app that lets you become a beta tester for books
- brin 7y agoHey everyone, I’m excited to show off fresh.ink! If you haven’t beta read someone’s work before, it’s a cool way to engage with authors and see work before it’s published. fresh.ink is dedicated to finding high quality work that you’ll be interested in. It does this in two ways: first, by learning what kind of writing you like; second, by using your fellow beta readers’ behavior to ensure that the majority of the work you’re seeing is highly rated and engaging. It also sprinkles in some brand new stuff that you’ll be the first to read. Here’s how it works: - The app matches you with 20 stories or novels to start, you can swipe to save or skip. - We use your swipes, opens, drop-offs, ratings, comments, and feedback to help decide your next matches, as well as who else should be reading the stories you’ve read. - Authors get a detailed report on their work so they know what to focus on, readers get good quality writing for free. It’s very fun to use, and the writing is fantastic. Give it a try—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
