- What we did
- Product design · iOS & Android apps · Reading website · Admin panel · Payments & subscriptions
CrownNovel is a home for serialised fiction: romance, fantasy, drama, short stories and comics, read a chapter at a time. Readers needed a calm, book-like reading experience on phone and web, and the business needed paid chapters, memberships and a way for writers to publish and get paid.
- iOS and Android reader apps in Flutter
- Reading website with book, genre and author pages for search
- Reader: themes, text size, chapter-by-chapter navigation, audio narration and offline downloads
- Coins, chapter unlocks and memberships through in-app purchases
- Writer programme: applications, story submission, writer dashboard, earnings and payouts
- Admin panel for books, chapters, comics, writers, rankings, reports, pricing and payouts
- Rankings, reviews, chapter comments, reading lists and notifications
- 01
Design the reading first
An ivory, book-like reader with royal purple and gold accents, so long chapters stay easy on the eyes on any screen.
- 02
One catalogue, every screen
The iOS app, Android app and website read from the same catalogue, so a story published in the admin shows up everywhere.
- 03
Money and writers
Coins, chapter unlocks and memberships run through app-store purchases, with server-side checks, earnings tracking and writer payouts.
- Readers get the same catalogue on iPhone, Android and the web, with free chapters to start.
- Writers can apply, submit stories and track earnings, and the team runs everything from one admin panel.
