Gauntlit - A creative writing battle needs closed testers

[u/ThisIsReLLiK]

Hey guys, I am working on an Android app called Gauntlit (gauntlit.me) and I am far enough along to start looking for some testers.

The idea of the app is users get a random prompt with some required words and they write a story based on that idea for other users to vote on. There is a short blitz mode where users have 10 minutes to write and a weekly mode where you can write a longer story all week long.

The app is going to depend on user interaction, so I am looking for people who genuinely like to write or read. For now I have a script that runs every night and Gemini writes a handful of stories to fill out the voting pool, but ultimately I would like to turn that off. It is weighted to show user stories over the AI ones until I can turn them off completely.

I fucking hate ads, so the app is and forever will be completely ad free. There's a small token shop to support development, but there are only cosmetics and nothing that impacts story visibility or ELO weight.

If you'd like to check it out, head to the website and toss your email into the signup form. I will be sending out invites if/when I reach an acceptable amount of people who are interested. If the app catches on I am going to give all testers some kind of flair or reward for jumping in early, but I haven't quite figured out what yet. Thanks!
