# Storyborn

Your book deserves a launch, not a link list. Upload a book once — cover, blurb, retailer links — and get a genre-themed public book page, one universal short link, and a full kit of promotional graphics in about five minutes. Then Book Hunt puts it in front of readers who are there to find new books.

## Features

- **Guided Book Setup:** A resumable five-step wizard — title, cover, genre, blurb, retailer links — with the store detected automatically from each link you paste. Finishing publishes the page.
- **Nine Genre Themes:** Dark fantasy, romance, literary, thriller, mystery, sci-fi, historical and more. Each theme changes typography, palette and hero treatment on the public book page.
- **One Universal Link:** A single short link for every channel, backed by an analytics pipeline that tracks views, retailer clicks, referrers, country and device — with IPs digested before they're stored.
- **Five-Asset Share Kit:** One click composites a 3D mockup, square post, story, social card and out-now banner from your cover and theme, with contrast checked automatically and a zip download.
- **Double Opt-In Email Capture:** A signup form on every book page with magic-link confirmation, rate limiting and CSV export — so the readers you win stay yours.
- **Book Hunt:** A Product-Hunt-style discovery feed with trending, new and top tabs, genre pages, upvotes, comments with author badges, and public member profiles.
- **Supporter Downloads:** Readers can download your share kit straight from the hunt page, so the people who want to help you launch already have the graphics.
- **AI Cover Backgrounds:** Credit-metered genre-mood image generation routed across three providers, with per-provider kill switches and automatic credit refunds when a generation fails.
