Storya – Where every story finds its voice
Storya is built for writers who want to focus on their craft without wrestling with clunky interfaces or complicated publishing workflows. The platform centers around a clean, distraction-free editor that handles markdown formatting naturally, letting you structure your narrative with headings, lists, and emphasis without breaking your creative flow.
Rich Media Integration
Through Cloudinary's powerful media pipeline, authors can upload and embed images directly into their stories. Each upload is automatically optimized for web delivery, generates responsive thumbnails, and maintains crisp quality across devices—whether readers are on mobile or desktop.
Community & Discovery
The explore page surfaces fresh content through intelligent filtering and search capabilities. Readers can browse by recency, discover trending narratives, or search for specific themes and topics. Each story lives on its own dedicated page with a unique slug, making sharing effortless. Author profiles showcase complete writing portfolios, follower counts, and bio information, building recognition and trust within the community.
Authentication & Personalization
Supabase powers a secure authentication system with email/password flows, password recovery, and protected routes. Writers manage their profiles through an intuitive dashboard where they can update avatars, edit bios, and track their published work. The like system lets readers bookmark favorites and show appreciation, while authors see real-time engagement on their pieces.
Modern Tech Stack
Built on Next.js 14 with App Router for optimal performance and SEO, styled with Tailwind CSS for responsive design, and backed by PostgreSQL through Supabase for reliable data persistence. The architecture separates concerns cleanly—server actions handle mutations, client components manage interactivity, and TypeScript ensures type safety across the entire codebase.
Storya adapts to your storytelling style—whether you're crafting short fiction, personal essays, travel journals, or serialized adventures. The platform gets out of your way when you're writing and steps up when you're ready to share with the world.
