It is a foundation and the first step and on a long way to the service me and my friend want to build. It will include improving of reader experience, tools for authors and, I hope, a community of likeminded people. Any feedback much appreciated

  Just don't want to make a false promises because this is mostly a side project right now and you know how they are going. But our goal is to make a platform for authors to write, publish and sell unfinished books aka manuscript. So basically author will be able to publish two pages from a book and then write in online, discussing everything with his fan community and having controls who see a book. It will be free for a free books. There will be 15% fee for selling books both finished and manuscripts. And some twitch like tools for managing and growing a personal community. And there will be no ad.

    Describing your intent and aspirations for the project isn't the same as making a promise, but I understand that you might feel an obligation to follow through on anything you say, even if it isn't an explicit commitment. Perhaps just list your plans for the next release/milestone or two?

      Next milestone is an ability to publish a manuscript and make it paid. One after it is an author community management tools. Hoping to release both in this year.

        So, you might add both of those to the docs, perhaps as a roadmap, with or without the timeframe.
