Yoru Stories is a publishing platform where authors can share their work and build a community around it. Authors can monetize on their own terms, engage with fans, and collaborate with other users on extensions of their IP. Users can view content, discover their next favorite work or author via our novel search and recommendations system, and share the experience with a likeminded community. We're on a mission to help every story find their audience, and we invite you to help build the future of fiction with us.

Digital Content Creation
We would like students to help us with creating content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization. We're launching our product in a couple of weeks and are gearing up for it at the moment. Ultimately, you will be working on content creation for our organization, including video, social media, and other collateral that we can use as go-to marketing tools. If you like the sound of our culture, and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.
Data Visualization Dashboard - Front-End App Design & Implementation
Our current application is a platform that allows authors to sell access to their content through one time payments or subscriptions, and for users to read free and purchased material. Users have requested the functionality to visualize key metrics such as author earnings, subscriber counts, and reader engagement. To address this, we would like to develop a data visualization dashboard for authors. We would like students to focus on: Creating a standalone front-end application that interacts with our existing backend server. The front-end application will need to authenticate users using our authentication service or a 3rd party OAuth provider, retrieve and ingest user data from our backend server, and allow users to visualize, manipulate, and drill down into the returned data.
Third Party API Integration - Mobile/Back-End App Design & Implementation
Our current application is a platform that allows authors to sell access to their content through one time payments or subscriptions, and for users to read free and purchased material. Our mobile application is written in Flutter using the Dart programming language. Our backend server is built with FastAPI using the Python programming language. Our database is powered by PostgreSQL. Users have requested the functionality to integrate directly with Patreon, a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service. To address this, we would like to integrate our existing application with the Patreon API. We would like students to focus on: Creating a standalone application or integrated component of our existing platform that interacts with Patreon, specifically authentication into Patreon using their OAuth system, keeping track of creators' memberships using the API and webhook events, and re-uploading content by posting to Patreon through the API.
Marketing Strategy Plan
We want students to help us build a marketing strategy plan to grow and engage our target market: readers looking to find their next favorite story or author . We’d like to know how we can maximize use of different channels and get recommendations to improve our messaging. The main questions we’d like students to help us answer are the following: How do students currently perceive our brand and marketing, based on publicly available information about our company? What are the most effective channels should we utilize for promotion, including ones we are not currently using? What budget is appropriate for advertising, given our goals? How could our messaging be updated to better explain our value proposition?
