A tranquil literary social networking app for weaving words on your smartphone.
"I want to carry literary works around in a playlist, like a music app." Born from that desire, Kotoam is a platform for posting and viewing short works like tanka, novels, and poetry.
Writers can post their works, and readers can collect their favorite works and create their own personal bookshelf (playlist) like a talisman.
[Kotoam is recommended for]
• People who love reading (dedicated readers)
◦ Carrying a book is heavy, but want to immerse themselves in a story, essay, or poem while traveling or before bed.
◦ Want to carry words like a talisman for different moods, like "sleepless nights" or "when you need a push"?
◦ Want to discover "short words" of 300 characters or less, regardless of genre, such as novels, tanka, or essays.
• People who love writing (creators)
◦ Want to deliver works that will stay with someone forever, not just get a "like."
◦ Up to 300 characters, automatically generated vertical layout. Create on your smartphone the moment an idea strikes.
◦ Feel the joy of receiving a notification when your work is added to someone's "playlist."
