Founder, Full stack developer
I created this app with my brother in 2023/2024 in order to solve the problem of serial fiction authors struggling to provide a subscription-worthy reading experience on Patreon. Read our story here. Cereal is a reading-first app that integrates with Patreon to improve reading, listening, and navigation experiences for serial fiction authors and their subscribers.
I built the mobile app, integrating with Patreon's API to authenticate subscribers, gate content based on membership tiers, track reading progress, and keep readers engaged.
Some of the Features I Built
Beautiful Reading Experience
Customizable reading settings and location tracking.
In-Line Comments
In-line comments to keep readers engaged.
Easy Navigation
Comprehensive table of contents available based off subscription tiers.
Text-to-Speech Audiobooks
Audiobook conversion adds an additional delight to using Cereal over reading on Patreon.
