Cade vs Poetrify

A "Cade" is a self-contained super short fiction story that spans a maximum of 500 words. We embarked on this experiment due to two observations. Firstly, our current reading experience on smartphones is limited to transcribed literary formats, essentially reading printed books through reading apps. Secondly, our interactions with phones are predominantly brief, involving activities such as checking Instagram stories, reading news headlines, checking the weather, or engaging in quick chat messages. By combining these observations, we aimed to explore whether there was an opportunity to create a literary format specifically tailored to the way people interact with their phones, rather than the other way around. From the perspective of the writer, this format presents a challenge: Can you tell a complete story within 500 words? A similar challenge was posed to the renowned science fiction writer Isaac Asimov back in 1957. During a panel, he was asked to spontaneously write a story, resulting in a mini-story called "Insert knob A, in hole B," which consisted of only 350 words. In this spirit, we are reprinting Asimov's story as our first Cade, showcasing the brevity and creativity that can be achieved within this format.

This app allows users to read or write 4 different types of documents, journals, stories, quotes and poems through a rich text editor. Each section is divided by language so that each user can use the language they prefer or improve the idiom they are studying. There is a profile page where you can link your social networks, view your followers or users we follow and read comments other users may have left on our profile. There is a trophy system, specifically each day, week and month the documents that have received the most likes for each language and type of document will be chosen. To avoid problems in using the app there is a tutorial section where the main features are described in detail and it is also possible to send a direct message to the developer so that he can correct any problems.
