Storyplanet
A media platform for immersive visual stories. We designed the architecture and built the backend and the APIs behind the editor and the player.
Storytelling reinvented.
Storyplanet was a next generation media platform that let storytellers, journalists and photographers easily create immersive content and turn almost any idea into a beautiful, visual story.
We were brought on board in 2012 to build the platform from the ground up: designing the system architecture, developing the backend system and exposing services via APIs used by the story editor and player.
The backend was developed using Ruby and Sinatra, a collection of web technologies were employed on the front end, while the story editor and player were both built using Flash.
Definitely one of the most exciting things we have worked on. Unfortunately the startup is no more.
