AI Dashboard Builder for Self-published Authors
Self-published authors usually know their numbers a month late. Describe the metrics that matter and Mythex builds a dashboard that reads them from your own data.
Who it's for
Self-published authors with data in more than one place and no single screen that answers "how did this week go".
What you can build
- KPI cards for the figures your self-published author lives on
- A trend chart over time, by week or by month
- A breakdown by category, across novels and signed editions
- A filterable table of the underlying records
- A CSV import, so it runs on the data you already keep
How self-published authors work
A self-published author runs a small publishing business alone: writing the next book, commissioning covers and editing, uploading to retailers and print-on-demand services, and marketing each launch. Readers discover them through retailer algorithms, ads, genre communities and newsletter swaps with other authors. Launch weeks and discount promotions bring spikes, while the backlist earns quietly in between. Sales reports come from several dashboards, and reader emails sit with whichever service collected them. Software helps by giving the author a home base they own: a site, a reader list and direct sales.
What dashboard for Self-published Authors has to handle
- Sales from several retailers and direct sales should be combined into one view per book.
- Read-through from book one to later books in a series shows whether the series is working.
- Ad spend should be compared with the sales it produced in the same period.
- Newsletter growth by signup source reveals which reader magnet performs best.
A tip for self-published authors
Track read-through for each series before spending more on ads. If only a small share of readers continue past book one, fixing the opening book or its ending will do more than any budget increase.
A prompt to start from
Build a dashboard for a self-published author. Show KPI cards for the key totals, a line chart of the trend over time, a bar chart broken down by category, and a filterable table of records with reader name, email, book and signup source. Add a date-range filter, a CSV import to load my existing data, and an export. Use a database and seed it with realistic sample data so I can see it working.
Questions
Can an author combine sales reports from different retailers?
Yes, by importing each retailer's report into the app. It can then show totals per book, per month and per series.
Can it use my own data?
Yes. Start on sample data so you can see the layout, then ask for a CSV import or for the app to read the data another project already stores.
Can I share it with the team?
Publish it and send the URL. Ask for login if the numbers should not be public, and Mythex adds accounts to the published app.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Mythex writes the code, shows a live preview, and lets you change things by chatting. The code editor and terminal are there if you ever want them.
Do I have to explain my business every time?
No. Mythex remembers who you are and how you work across every project, and follows the standing notes you set for a project, so you are not re-briefing it in each new chat. You can read, edit or switch all of it off.
How much does it cost?
There is a Free plan with daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds full code editing, GitHub export, custom domains, and credit top-ups.
