Story Hero - Day 12 Update

Image description

Today was a massive win for Story Hero — we officially launched our first landing page at https://storyhero.site! 🚀

🌐 Website Launch: Fastest Idea-to-Launch Ever

We built and shipped the landing page in record time using React inside Bolt.new, took inspiration from 21st.dev, and deployed via Netlify. Then we claimed our free custom domain using Entri (IONOS) — and just like that, Story Hero was live.

It’s:

  • 🔄 Responsive & mobile-friendly
  • 💫 Full of subtle animations
  • 🔍 SEO-optimized with OG metadata
  • 📬 Equipped with an email waitlist signup

Honestly, it turned out beautiful and exceeded our expectations — and it’s already helping us tell the Story Hero story to the world.

📱 App Store Sprint Begins

We also whipped up our first draft of App Store screenshots. They’re rough, but they’re enough to help us push towards our next big milestone: getting the app submitted for App Store review ASAP.

The review process can take time (and surprises happen), so our focus is to get a "good enough" build live fast, then iterate from there. The sooner we get it into Apple’s hands, the sooner we can get real users and even paying subscribers — all before the hackathon ends.

🚀 Big Picture

This week’s progress gets us one step closer to the goal: launching a real product with paying users in just 30 days. We’re still going for the “Make More Money” challenge, and every decision is focused on that north star.

Even if we don’t win a prize, building Story Hero alongside this community is already worth it. Let’s keep shipping.
