Storyline Studio

Storyline Studio is the story production surface: guided intake, memory materials, contributor prompts, review lanes, and private outputs that turn scattered material into a coherent story.

Pilot path

  • Start a story
  • Collect memory material
  • Review and assemble
  • Share a private story page
Who it helps

Families, creators, stewards, and organizations collecting stories, media, approvals, and outputs without losing the thread.

What was built

Story intake, contributor rooms, media uploads, production workbench, review/repair/launch tools, private story pages.

Live / demoable

Local build passes; pilot deployment/domain cutover is the next operational step.

Problem

People have photos, recordings, notes, and context, but not a clean process for turning them into something usable, reviewable, and shareable.

Lab focus

The pilot should prove one clean happy path: start a story, add media and prompts, generate a private page, and keep review/approval visible.

What is real

The StoryStudio codebase has real Next routes, Supabase/R2/Mux architecture, production workbench modules, and passing build/typecheck/lint checks. The public domain needs deployment alignment.
