Top 10 Things that Would Improve StoryFire
For those who don't know, StoryFire is an app where you can read and write stories. I think it's great for the most part. However, there's definitely room for improvement, so I'm going to go over things that would make the next update awesome.I feel like the colors could help express a character's personality in a subtle way.
Being able to listen to the story being read, or even just having music or sound effects play at certain parts, could make the reader more engaged.
It gets a little frustrating when I'm writing a story and don't like a name I gave one of my characters. I have to delete them, re-add them with a different name, and then update all their lines if I've already written dialogue for that character.
Sometimes my posts are kind of long if I'm explaining something, so it would definitely improve the app if they increased the character limit on forum posts or comments.
This app is a great way to pass time, so it would be nice if you could use some features offline, like writing stories, in case your internet goes out or something.
This would be a good way to help the reader better visualize what's happening in the story by showing them pictures of key events or scenes.
I'm surprised it doesn't already have that feature. I think it should be added because maybe you want to have a conversation with another user privately without everyone else seeing it. For example, if they're making plans for a group story, everyone would already know what to expect if they can see the conversations, and it wouldn't be as special.
They should make it so that after you're done reading a story, you have the option to take a quiz on it.
It would be cool to have a poll system where you could give your followers about a week to vote on what kind of stories they want to see.
If you make a series, it would be easier for the reader to find all the parts and read them in order.
UPDATE: You can now put your stories into series using the web version.
UPDATE #2: You can now do this in the app as well.
