I’m grateful I can make my aunt’s son happy with fresh bedtime stories via /r/gratitude

Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly working on something really close to my heart. It started as a way to help my aunt tell fresh bedtime stories to her son she’d been reading the same ones for years, and I wanted to give him something new, magical, and personal each night.

Since finishing it, I’ve been using the app every day, and it’s been so meaningful to see how it brings stories to life. Watching a child’s face light up at a tale they’ve never heard before has been more rewarding than I ever expected.

It’s also been incredible to hear from other parents and storytellers who’ve tried it and found it just as special. Knowing that something I built can make storytelling easier, more fun, and more magical is really humbling.
