Tech Stack & Integrations

Platforms: iOS, Android
Framework: FlutterFlow
Backend: Firebase
Payments & Subscriptions: RevenueCat
Performance & Security: Cloudflare CDN and caching for secure, fast content delivery

Challenges & Solutions

Several technical and UX hurdles arose during development. Designing a compliant, COPPA-safe UI for the kids’ category required careful planning and iteration. Additionally, optimizing Firestore for serving a large volume of stories across multiple languages demanded smart structuring and indexing. Content security was ensured using Cloudflare’s caching and access controls. To speed up story creation, I also experimented with AI-generated text and narration—streamlining the creative process while maintaining quality.

Development Time

12 weeks from initial concept to fully functional pre-launch version, including research, UX prototyping, voice production, and backend optimization.

Impact or Outcome

The app is fully developed and currently in its final content expansion phase. While not yet published publicly, it’s ready for beta testing and distribution through TestFlight or APK. Early internal testers have praised the design, smooth experience, and rich storytelling.

My Role & Value

As the solo founder and developer, I led the project end-to-end—from ideation and market research to content curation, design, and deployment. I brought a unique blend of speed, scalability, and educational insight, building a robust FlutterFlow-based platform optimized for performance, security, and child safety.
