👋 Hey Product Hunt community! I’ve always been a big fan of apps like Blinkist and Headway—they’re great for non-fiction. But there was always something missing for me. I kept thinking, "Why isn’t there an app extracting wisdom and life lessons from fiction? There’s so much value in novels!” 📚 So, after a year of hard work and development, I’m excited to introduce Wisebits - Tales Untold! We’ve created an app that focuses on bringing out the deep insights from fiction that often go unnoticed. Here’s what Wisebits offers: - Bite-sized Stories: Transform your favorite novels into short self-help stories you can implement in your life today. - Immersive Audio Stories: Enjoy beautifully narrated tales with stunning graphics. - Personalized Letters: Imagine getting a letter from your favorite character, offering you personal growth advice. - Reading Goals: Stay on track with custom weekly reading targets tailored just for you. We’ve launched on the iOS App Store, and I’d sincerely love to get your feedback. Download the app now and start discovering! Can’t wait to hear what you think. 🙌 Thanks for the support!

@whoisrade Cheers to the team for launching this! Wishing you an extraordinary journey ahead. What’s the story behind the product's name?

Maker
@kjosephabraham Thanks so much! 😊 The idea behind the name Wisebits is to highlight the fact that novels are packed with "wise bits" of wisdom and life lessons. These insights often go overlooked, and we wanted the name to reflect the value and depth that fiction can offer.

@whoisrade Congratulations on the launch! This is fantastic and has really impressed me. What’s next for you guys?

Interesting idea! The UI is amazing, and it's also amazing that the stories are short. Do you have plans to offer novels in other languages, such as Dutch?
Rade Joksimovic
Maker
@akmyrat Thanks for the kind words, Akmyrat! 😊 Initially, we planned to offer the stories in English, Spanish, French, and Italian, but we decided to go lean startup and launch in English only until we gain some traction. Pinning Dutch to the list for when the time comes though! 🚀🌍

Just installed it, The APP feels great. Easy to use and browse. Feels familiar and visually appealing. I am more of a listener. Maybe you should have listening speed slower then 1x..oh you have 0.8 👍🏼 just realized! Bravo @whoisrade
Rade Joksimovic
Maker
@lodge23 Thanks so much! 😊 We added speed adjustments, but we're considering making them more granular. Some users have suggested a 0.9 speed between 0.8 and 1. What do you think? 🎧
Lana Krunic
@whoisrade 0.8 works perfect for me. 👍🏼

Wow, @whoisrade, this sounds amazing! I've always felt that fiction teaches us so much, and you’re totally right—there’s a ton of wisdom to unpack. The personalized letters from characters idea is just genius! Can't wait to dive into those stories. The audio narration is such a cool touch too; it really helps bring the tales to life. Do you have plans for expanding the story selection? I'm all in for this!✨

@blankwebdev Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you resonate with the idea. We currently have almost 700 stories in the app and are constantly adding more. If you have a favorite novel that we haven't created a story for yet, just let us know and we'll make it happen for you! 📚✨ Your support means a lot to us!

Congratulations on the product launch! The app sounds incredibly engaging and rich in features. The idea of receiving personalized letters from favorite characters for personal growth advice is unique. How is the advice tailored to individual users? Is there an AI component involved in this personalization?

@maka_4 Thanks for the congratulations! 😊 We do use GPT-4 for everything, ensuring that the content is relevant and engaging. It's all about making the experience as enriching as possible. 🚀✨

Congratulates! Wisebits is really amazing! Setting reading goals is a great way to keep users engaged. How are these goals personalized? Do you use the users' reading habits and preferences to tailor these targets

Maker
@jane0621 Thank you so much! 😊 Currently, users set their reading goals manually, but we're thinking of introducing challenges and streaks to help keep everyone motivated. Your feedback is appreciated! 📚✨
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Rade, I'm curious about the personalized letters feature. How do you decide the content of these letters, and are they based on specific characters from the stories? Congrats on the launch!
Rade Joksimovic
Maker
@kyrylosilin Thanks for the comment! 😊 The contents of the personalized letters are indeed based on the main characters from the novels. They are written in the first person as if the characters are speaking directly to you, offering advice and wisdom they've gained through their journeys. Plus, we have immersive audio versions of all stories in the app for a richer experience. Hope you enjoy it! 🎧📚

Is the app available for devices other than iOS, such as Android or web platforms? Additionally, what accessibility features are included for users with disabilities? Congratulations! 🚀
Rade Joksimovic
Maker
@h_henry Thanks! 😊 We’re actively working on expanding to more platforms natively, starting with iPadOS and web apps, and we'll continue to expand based on user demand. For accessibility, we’ve carefully followed all Apple Design guidelines, integrating features like VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and color adjustments. Additionally, we offer audio versions of all stories for users with vision impairments. We're committed to making Wisebits accessible to everyone! 📚

How does the app track user progress and reading habits? Is there an option for users to provide feedback on the stories or narrations?

Maker
@yomiko We show reading progress to each user in the app, plus there’s an option to provide feedback on the stories. 😊 Feel free to install the app and check it out. We’d love to hear any feedback you might have!

"Wisebits" isn't a widely recognized term, so I'll assume you're referring to "wise bits" or useful pieces of advice for improving something. Here are a few general "wise bits" for improvement: 1. **Understand Your Users**: Always design with the end user in mind. Conduct user research to understand their needs and preferences. 2. **Iterate and Test**: Continuously test your design and make improvements based on user feedback. 3. **Prioritize Functionality**: Ensure that the primary functions are easy to access and use. 4. **Stay Updated**: Keep up with the latest design trends and technology to incorporate relevant updates. 5. **Simplify**: Aim for simplicity and ease of use rather than overwhelming users with too many options or complex features. 6. **Seek Feedback**: Regularly gather and act on feedback from users to refine and enhance the product. If you meant something specific by "wisebits," please let me know!

It sounds like you’re asking about a specific society or community. To give a helpful response, could you clarify which society or community you’re referring to? If you mean evaluating the quality or nature of a society in general, factors to consider include: - **Social Support**: How well does it support its members? - **Opportunities**: Are there opportunities for personal and professional growth? - **Equality**: Does it promote fairness and equal rights? - **Safety**: Is it a safe environment for everyone? - **Quality of Life**: Are basic needs like healthcare, education, and housing met? Let me know if you have a specific society or aspect in mind!

I've already downloaded it, can't wait to give it a try! The name Wisebits is pretty cool. Is there a story behind it? Also, are there plans to release an Android version?
Samuel Chien @ Blobfish AI
I wonder if it's possible to incorporate AI into this?
Gregory Karfo
This is such an innovative idea—I've always felt that fiction holds so many valuable lessons, and it's awesome to see an app that brings those to light. The concept of bite-sized stories and immersive audio tales is amazing, and I love the idea of getting personal growth advice from favorite characters.
