Wynter's Dreams is a product I helped develop at kyte. It is an interactive children's e-book built for kids of the future. It was a 3 month project to get the initial product launched on December 6th 2023.

We used Leonardo.ai to generate the images for the books, each book has its own style and consistent characters. With the technology of 2023 it was not easy generating these images AT ALL, we greatly underestimated the time it would take to generate these images but we got it done it in the end, generating around 50,000 images. We still had to photoshop these and edit as well to keep the character consistent.

Hiring developers for the frontend and backend was a task as well, find the right person with good communication is a skill in itself. We were not so lucky with out first couple developers but things turned around in the end.

Built using GoLang and React, we ended up with a solid product. There were still many things that we were missing when we first launched, the user experience was not up to the mark but with time and user testing we managed to make it as seamless as we could.

The 3 of us in the core team learned lot about managing different teams - frontend/backend development, design, image generation and marketing. We had never worked on a project so extensive and even though we initially faced a lot of roadblocks we are very happy with how the product turned out.

Currently we've got through 3 revisions of the product and we've received great feedback and reactions. If you have read this far would love to hear what you thought about it as well!
