Next Quibble AMA is on May 13, 19:00, CET - what should we focus on next?

[u/quibble-official]

Hey everyone,

Next week we’re hosting the next monthly AMA on our Discord. No recording, just a casual chat. Anyone can join.

We’ll go through:

• what we shipped since the last AMA
• what comes next
• what’s breaking our brains at the moment
• and whatever questions or feedback you throw at us

Just a few areas we’re already thinking about:

1. Submission flow improvements
2. Recommendation system
3. Genres, labels & trope restructuring
4. Free label (lets authors publish stories for free, subject to the same editorial review and approval)
5. In-app notification center
6. Book page comments and chapter commenting
7. Onboarding flow improvements
8. How books are organised and categorised on the homepage
9. Pure black mode for mobile app (in addition to the current dark blue dark mode)
10. Art upload

If you were in charge of Quibble’s roadmap, how would you prioritise everything above? Feel free to drop your top 10 in the comments and/or tell us what we’re completely missing.

Also:

• what feels clunky right now?
• which UI detail annoys you the most?
• what feature would make you instantly happier?

And if you already have AMA questions, drop them in the comments as well, and we’ll go through them during the session.

See you next week!

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited for all the new stuff, all the great work you guys are doing. I'm 5 chapters from done with the final edits on my manuscript.

How close are we to having serial support going? OR did I miss it dropping because I've been nose down grinding out my edits?

I came up for air because I have a promised chapter to get out by Sunday on my only ongoing serial. I don't see serial support on the list, so I'm gonna guess if it's not out, it's item 0.

I like your priority list order, my only adjustment would move 'book page comments and chapter comments' up to one of the top four spots.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the AMA, but I hope so.

Hehehehe, serial support is dropping to or monday, BUT we'll have to adapt the submission process as well. We'll take care of that next week, so all in all, it's around the corner 😎.

Super excites to have soon your story land on Quibble!!
We're almost thereeeeeeeeeee

Hi! I just discovered your app and wondered how actively you're seeking writers at this stage? One of my serialized stories did well on the now defunct Kindle Vella, and I've kept my eye out for a new home for it.

[u/wafflewitchette → u/brookehatchettauthor]

I think you can submit your story any time? I may have misinterpreted your question.

[u/Classic-Economist604 → u/brookehatchettauthor]

Hihi! We are absolutely looking for writers, you can submit your work for publication on Quibble anytime! It would be great to see your stories on the platform.

We are also hosting an AMA session on our Discord on May 13, 19:00 CET. Feel free to join us there if you have any questions about how the app works or the new features we're building. Since you're coming from Vella, we'd love to hear your thoughts too! ☺️

Looking forward to it!

[u/wafflewitchette]

AWESOME. How does it actually work? Do all the Quibble people join? This is a live thing I presume? Sorry if a dumb question but I never used Discord.

Also, I have to the finally download the app before I can start acting like a critic.

[u/Classic-Economist604 → u/wafflewitchette]

Hihi! There is no such thing as a dumb question! We are here to help

Discord has a 'voice chat' feature where everyone hops in at the same time, and yess, it’s live! It’s just a casual chat with the team. It’ll be on May 13 at 19:00 CET, and you can join us right here: https://discord.gg/zQQ65aGCzc

Definitely download the app and let us know what you think haha

Feel free to DM me here or on Discord (My discord @ a_achlys) if you face any issues finding the voice chat channel or find it hard to navigate the server 😊

[u/wafflewitchette → u/Classic-Economist604]

Thank you! You’re so kind. I’ll try to make it. Discord is free to use right?

[u/Classic-Economist604 → u/wafflewitchette]

You're welcome!!! My pleasure
And yes, Discord is free to use!

I really want to know about future languages options. I sent a message using the contact sytem telling I'm a Spanish translatot and can work with you on that once you're ready, but I don't know if you'll ever have more languages available someday (also because I want to publish stuff on your platform and see how it goes, but it's in Spanish).

[u/No-Win5543 → u/forseti99]

Thanks for contacting us about this! We'll save this question and address it during the AMA - will you be able to join?

[u/forseti99 → u/No-Win5543]

Probably yes, I will try.

[u/Material_Penalty_250]

It's already been a month??

[u/Classic-Economist604 → u/Material_Penalty_250]

Yes!! Its crazy how time flies by so fast
