01Case study
Storiad
Lead developer on the logged-in app for self-published authors. An Inertia dashboard with AI-assisted writing, a press-contact database for outreach, self-publishing profit calculators, and Stripe billing.
02Overview
The problem
Self-published authors have no single place to manage their brand, their content, and their book promotion. The work is scattered across tools that were never built for them.
The goal was one logged-in app that pulls the whole author workflow together: writing, outreach, the numbers behind a launch, and the author's own website.
03What was built
01
AI-assisted writing
A writing and chatbot feature helps authors draft and shape their content, turning a blank page into a starting point.
02
Contacts Database
A searchable media and press directory authors use to build outreach lists and pitch reviewers and bloggers directly.
03
Financial Calculators
Self-publishing profit tools — projected book worth and ROI, sales targets, and profit and loss — with charts and a public, embeddable version.
04
Author websites and billing
Author-website management alongside Stripe subscription billing, all inside one Inertia-driven dashboard.
