Hi Product Hunt
I'm Tim, founder of Creader.
Ten years ago, when I first moved to the UK, I could barely speak English. Web novels were what kept me grounded. I'd disappear into stories that felt larger than the page. Somewhere along the way, I kept asking: why does writing feel so hard — and why do most tools make it worse?
That question stuck with me.
I went through computer science, spent time in blockchain and IP infrastructure,
and later worked on AI systems.
Earlier this year, I got laid off.
Ten days ago, I shipped Creader v1.
Here's the thesis we're betting on:
Most AI writing tools are solving the wrong problem. They optimise for fluency — generating text that sounds finished. But fluency was never the bottleneck for serious long-form writers. Premature coherence is. When AI resolves your ambiguity instantly, you lose your initial substance.
So Creader is built around a different premise: AI should help you see your world, not write it for you.
Underneath is what we call the Memory Engine:
It tracks your characters, locations, events, and how they relate.
So when you're 200k words in, AI isn't guessing —
It’s grounded in your actual story.
We also built something called Guardian:
It flags inconsistencies and helps you catch things you’d normally miss.
What you can do today:
- Build characters, locations, events as structured nodes (not just notes)
- Define semantic relationships ("ally_of", "located_in", "caused_by")
- Write chapters with AI that actually remembers everything you've established
- Get consistency warnings when chapter 87 contradicts chapter 3
- Plug your story world into Claude / GPT / any MCP client via https://github.com/timothyshen/c...
- Full export — your world is yours forever (Markdown + JSON)
We’re building this for writers who’ve lost track of their own world.
Two things I'd love to hear from you:
1. For writers: what's the moment in long-form writing where your tools fail you the hardest?
2. For builders: would an MCP server to a creative knowledge graph be useful in your own AI workflows?
Roast me, push back, ask anything — I'll be here all day.
— Tim
