Hey folks — I’m looking for a developer (or small team) to help me build an MVP for a creative platform called Contextras.
It’s a storytelling playground for writers, artists, and worldbuilders. The platform helps users break creative blocks by guiding them through an interactive system called the Flow — a visual, choice-based path where every card unlocks a new branch of story-building inspiration.
🧠 The Core Idea:
- Think of it like if Notion, MidJourney, and Choose Your Own Adventure had a love child.
- Users pick a genre (e.g., Science Fiction), dive into a sub-genre (e.g., Cyberpunk), and explore a branching visual layout of Flow Cards — each card presents a creative decision point with text + imagery.
- Each card and submission is tagged based on a deep, pre-built genre taxonomy (themes, archetypes, tropes, etc.)
- The Flow evolves dynamically, and users can submit their own work (stories, art, animations, etc.) tied to specific branches.
🔧 What I Need Built (MVP):
- A front-end that dynamically loads content based on tags and user selection
- A reusable layout template for Genre and Sub-Genre pages
- Interactive Flow Cards with text + image, powered by category/tag data
- A system for user submissions (with media upload + tagging)
- Tag-based filtering/search across submissions
- Bonus (optional): Admin dashboard to manage content/tags
🗃️ What I’ve Already Done:
- The entire genre framework is fully mapped (e.g., Science Fiction > Cyberpunk > Mega Corporations > Oppression > AI Ethics, etc.)
- Flow Cards are partially written and categorized
- Visual examples and UX mockups are in progress
- Clear dev documentation & long-term roadmap ready
⚙️ Preferred Tech Stack (but flexible):
- Frontend: React, Vue, or anything modern + modular
- Backend: Firebase, Supabase, Node, Python/Django — open to your recs
- Data: JSON, MongoDB, or anything that supports nested/tag-based querying
- CMS optional, if it helps move faster
💡 Ideal Dev Vibes:
You get excited by branching systems, tag-based architectures, or story-driven tools. You can look at a genre tree like “Cyberpunk > Virtual Reality > AI Consciousness” and instantly see how it could drive card logic, filters, and content display.
💵 Budget:
Flexible. I’m not listing a fixed price here — I’d rather hear your pitch + rate. If this feels like your kind of project, let me know:
- How you'd approach it
- What tech you'd use
- Your estimated timeline and pricing
Bonus if you have examples of dynamic/tag-driven platforms you’ve built before.
