Most reading apps help you track books.
I wanted to build something that helps you experience them.
That's how Galaxy Library was born.
The idea started with a simple thought: every book leaves a mark on us. Some become memories, some become lessons, and some quietly shape who we are. Yet most reading apps reduce that journey to a progress bar and a number of pages read.
So I asked myself:
What if every book became a star in your personal universe?
Novella transforms reading into an immersive celestial experience where stories aren't stored on shelves—they live among the stars.
✨ A Galaxy Library where every book exists as a celestial body in your expanding universe.
📖 Immersive Reading View designed to keep distractions away and make every reading session feel calm and focused.
🌌 Constellation Progress Tracking that visualizes your reading journey as connected stars, showing how every completed book contributes to a larger story.
🔍 Cosmic Discovery Hub for finding new books, genres, and authors to explore.
✍️ Personal Reading Journal where readers can save notes, highlights, thoughts, and favorite quotes from every chapter.
🏆 Achievement System that celebrates milestones, reading streaks, and long-term goals.
📊 Insightful Reading Statistics including books completed, reading hours, yearly goals, and progress tracking.
👤 Personal Universe Profile that grows alongside your reading habits and achievements.

The goal wasn't to create another reading tracker.
The goal was to make reading feel magical again.
Built with a strong focus on visual storytelling, immersive UI design, and user experience exploration.
Thanks
Wow, Ayush, this is an absolute breath of fresh air for digital reading! Shifting the focus away from cold, gamified productivity metrics like progress bars and turning a reading journey into an expanding, interconnected celestial universe is a beautiful and deeply thoughtful...

Onboarding flow for LegWork 👇
Most fitness apps are built around numbers and hitting them starts to feel like homework.
I have always loved walking and traveling for the joy of it, so we are designing an app that celebrates exploring more of the earth while you are here.
Nice work
The design is just the beginning. The source code is ready to build on.
MoneyCheck is a modern personal finance web experience designed and developed as a ready-to-customize digital product.
Buy the source code and get:
• Complete project files
• Responsive web interface
• Finance dashboard UI
• Reusable components
• Setup documentation
Use it as a starting point for your own fintech, personal finance, SaaS, or portfolio project.
It is useful to see a finance interface offered as a working product rather than only a visual concept. Which parts of MoneyCheck did you make easiest for another team to customize?
I made a new sci-fi character and a short cinematic story. It's about how our lives might be more connected than we think.
I wanted to mix sci-fi visuals that look real with spiritual ideas. I thought about things like consciousness, compassion, and the cycle of life. Instead of a usual action-packed future story, I aimed for something more emotional and that makes you think.
I created the character, wrote the story, and then used Cantina to make the character and world real in a short pilot episode.
@Nihal Gound make sure to post the pilot video in the comments here so the judges and participants can watch it here on Contra.
