About

AnySystem

Features
Read full description

AnySystem is an all purpose app for authors, publishers, & players alike: Publishers & authors can create QR codes to place in their works that can be scanned using the AnySystem app. These QR codes will provide players or readers with links that will give them access to digital copies of the work, images, videos, DLC, future content and much more. AnySystem allows the user to create QR codes and shorten links so that it is easier to display links for content/pages to players when they scan your codes. Make a QR code that pulls up a shortened link that, once clicked, can bring the player to your publisher page within AnySystem (or offsite) so they can see other works you've created. Make marketing easy at conventions, booths, pop ups with a simple code or link to bring traffic to your content. Players, send QR codes to your friends & party members so they can purchase & download the same books & content that you enjoy. Keep track of all your books and content on one app with the AnySystem library. Get reminders when authors you like create new works or add new content to existing works. Find related content to expand your collection. Potentially earn discounts for referring new users to the app. AnySystem is aiming to become a conversion center, where if you prefer a different system rather than the one used in the original book, you can convert that book to the preferred system. While that is in the works, vote on what system you would like to see a particular book converted to. Make the author/publisher aware of what their audience wants. Potentially get paid by AnySystem as a freelancer to do the conversion yourself! All routes will be examined and pursued in the first half of 2023.
