I keep getting the same question: "How is this different from other reading apps?" Here's the short version: Marshmallow Reading doesn't need Google. Doesn't show ads. Doesn't track your kids. Doesn't sell data. Your child reads a real book, logs it in the app, and earns satoshis — real Bitcoin — that stack over time. The longer version: I built this on Supabase + BTCPay Server running on my Start9 home server. There's no app store dependency. Families sideload the APK or access the web app directly. That means no middleman between me and the families I serve. Most "kid-safe" apps are ad-supported surveillance tools dressed up in bright colors. I wanted something I'd actually trust with my own son. So I built it. If that resonates, the First 50 Families offer is now officially open — 10,000 bonus sats when you register your account. marshmallowreading.com #BuildInPublic #Bitcoin #Nostr #BitcoinFamilies

Been building something for a while now. I'm a Bitcoin dad. My kids read daily and they've always been good savers - piggy bank, counting coins, the whole thing. But something changed when we switched to sats. Suddenly saving had a point. The number went up. It was scarce. It was theirs. They love checking their balance. They talk about it. The habits they already had got sharper. So I built Marshmallow Reading — an Android app where kids log books and earn real satoshis. Not points. Not gift cards. Actual Bitcoin, on-chain. Pair something they love with the best savings technology ever created. That's the whole idea. #BuildInPublic #Bitcoin #Nostr

Just realized I should have learned how to dance on tekktok before building this.

I'm building Marshmallow Reading — an app where kids log the books they read and earn real bitcoin (satoshis) as rewards. Parents set up profiles for their kids, and every book logged earns sats based on page count. Stack books. Stack sats. Currently in testing on Android. More updates coming soon. #BuildInPublic #Bitcoin #Nostr"
