Create stories in different languages

Plus a big redesign, custom images, and OnceUponABot by the numbers

Hi! Here are some quick OnceUponABot updates.

📝 New Story Creator

I’ve redesigned the story creator! You can now mix and match any combination of writing and art styles. Here’s what it looks like:

For reference, here is what the home page looked like just a month or so ago!

You can try it out here.

🖼️ Choose Your Art Style

I’ve added a new option when you create a story: art style.

Want an anime poem read by a wizard?! Or a Shakespearean sonnet in the style of Pixar? The choice is yours :)

🌎 Choose a Language

I’ve added the option to select between any of the following languages. I think this can be a great tool if your child is bilingual or if you’re working on learning a new language. If you want me to add a language that isn’t here, let me know and I’ll add it!

📈 Transparency

I thought you may be interested in some stats on how this business is going.

• Monthly recurring revenue: $1,282. That’s up 22% since my last update (12/26/22)!

• 121 paying customers, so +17 since last update

• $220 contributed so far to carbon capture

• 83,626 total stories written

• Churn remains very high — about 20%. That means about 20% of paying customers have cancelled their subscriptions. If you’ve churned or are planning to, I’d love to hear how I could improve things!

Thanks, as always! Let me know any time if you have feedback, questions, or just want to say hi.
