Library
Sign in with Google, Apple, or email to save progress, rate stories, and sync unlocks across devices.
Creator Studio
Upload a manuscript, let AI segment it into mobile video/image beats, approve rights, then publish to ScrollyRoll.
AI production stack
Character sheets, style frames, key stills, cover art, and scene continuity references.
For selected world-reveal beats, Studio prompts an equirectangular 360 image and renders it in the frontend explorer.
Default production path for image-to-video beats, review tooling, model choice, and controllable credit spend.
Use for hero scenes, trailers, and premium shots. Batch generation is attractive for offline production.
Studio should generate voice as a separate audio track per beat, then mix it with clip audio so text-only scenes can still feel alive.
Good candidate for cheap motion filler where the story needs atmosphere more than high precision.
Promising for reference-to-video and character consistency, but keep it optional until launch/legal risk is clearer.
Agent pipeline
EPUB, PDF, TXT, source normalization, canonical archive, and rights metadata.
Checks source license, jurisdiction, trademark and character-risk signals before publishing.
Compresses into a 3-5 minute scrollie or splits into elegant parts.
Creates the series bible: characters, costumes, locations, palette, camera language.
Builds image, video, 360, first-frame, last-frame, and voice prompts from approved references.
Generate stills first, then image-to-video for selected beats. Avoid text-to-video from scratch unless needed.
Checks faces, costumes, continuity, artifacts, wrong text, and beat-level readability.
Creator approves, legal warning is shown, and the scrollie is published.
Launch economics
A $1 unlock works only when creation cost is amortized over many readers. Studio should charge creator generation credits upfront or recover them against future royalties.
Creator attestation, infringement flags, moderation queue, and takedown state all live in Studio.
No active flags.
Auth0 is the default social-login path for Google, Apple, and email. Stripe handles $1 unlocks, subscriptions, and creator payouts.
Social login placeholder for Auth0. Backend setup needs Auth0 domain and client ID.
