Chapterly | Flutter App Novel eBook and Audiobook Platform

Chapterly is a full-stack novel & e-book product: a cross-platform Flutter mobile app (iOS & Android) and a companion web platform in Laravel (reading site, admin CMS, and web checkout) for serialised web novels and comics. Built for the fast-growing digital reading market, it combines a polished native reader with a production-ready backend powered by the included Laravel / MySQL API, Firebase Remote Config, and RevenueCat VIP subscriptions.

The mobile app is organized around five main tabs — Discover, For You, Rewards, Library, and Profile — giving users a complete journey from finding a book to binge-reading it chapter by chapter. The catalog browses in three sections — Novels, eBooks and Audiobooks — so a reader after a serialised web novel, a reader after a finished ebook, and a listener who wants to be read to each land on their own shelf. Books open in the reader their format calls for: a distraction-free prose reader with themes and typography controls, a native PDF page view, a reflowable EPUB reader that keeps the reader’s own font and theme, or the audiobook player. A built-in coin economy, daily check-ins, rewarded ads, and a VIP subscription unlock premium chapters and remove ads.

Test card: all six web payment providers can be checked in test mode with card number 4242 4242 4242 4242, any future expiry date and any CVC.

Backend (included)

The mobile app runs on the backend included in the package:

• Laravel admin / Web API — the included novel-ebook-admin-panel platform: a PHP/Laravel web app with an admin dashboard, database migrations + seeders, and a mobile REST API the app can talk to. It also ships a multi-language reading website. Ideal if you already run on classic PHP/MySQL hosting or prefer the Laravel ecosystem.

Deploy the web project once and the app talks to that same origin.

Key Value Propositions

• For End Users: Discover trending novels and comics across 12 genres, read free preview chapters, unlock more with coins earned from daily check-ins and rewarded ads or with a VIP subscription, save books to Library, and pick up right where you left off with Continue Reading on web or mobile.
• For Readers: A distraction-free chapter reader with five page themes, adjustable typeface / size / spacing, resume positions synced to the server, and volume / chapter navigation — plus native PDF and reflowable EPUB readers for books that ship as documents.
• For Listeners: A full audiobook player with background playback and lock-screen controls, a chapter queue, 15s / 30s skip, variable speed, a sleep timer, and offline chapter downloads. Listening position writes to the same reading history as the text, so a book you listened to in the car opens on the right chapter on the train.
• For Authors: A self-publishing portal on the web — apply to become an author, create books and chapters, submit them for review, then track earnings from coin unlocks and the VIP pool on an append-only statement, export it as CSV, and request a payout. Authors see a live earnings summary on their phone too.
• For App Owners / Developers: A complete, monetizable reading product with VIP subscriptions, a coin/rewards economy, rewarded & banner ads, multiple color themes, onboarding layouts, paywall variants, push notifications, analytics, and remote configuration — plus the included Laravel admin / web API so you can manage the catalog, chapter prose, coin packages, and site content your way.

Content Disclosure

Chapterly ships as a complete reading platform with a demo catalog so you can run it end-to-end out of the box:

• Demo book artwork uses placeholder / generated covers that you replace with your own key-art.
• Demo chapters use machine-generated placeholder prose so reading works during testing — you replace these with your own licensed novel or comic content.
• Demo audiobooks use placeholder narration audio so the player, the sleep timer and offline downloads can be tested end-to-end — you replace these with your own licensed or commissioned recordings.
• Demo PDF and EPUB titles are sample documents, included so both readers open out of the box.
• The full catalog (genres, books, volumes, chapters, and home shelves) is managed entirely by you in the admin panel.

You are responsible for the books you distribute. Chapterly provides the app, web platform, backend, and catalog tooling; sourcing and licensing the actual novels, comics, e-book files and narration recordings is up to you. If you open the author portal to outside writers, you are also responsible for moderating what they submit — every author-created book goes through a submit-and-review step before it can appear in the catalog.

Disclaimer

This product is built to work with the included Laravel web API / admin (MySQL) — plus third-party services: Firebase (Auth, Remote Config, Analytics, Crashlytics), RevenueCat (VIP subscriptions), OneSignal (push), optional AdMob ads (banner & rewarded), and Razorpay / Midtrans / Duitku for web checkout. Hosting accounts and CDN costs are not included in the purchase — you will need to create your own accounts, configure API keys, and manage usage yourself. Basic familiarity with Firebase, Laravel deployment, and mobile store setup is recommended before launching.

• Chapter Reader: Distraction-free prose, five page themes, typeface / size / spacing controls, resume position, TOC, and chapter nav.
• PDF & EPUB Books: PDF chapters render in a native page view; EPUB chapters reflow in the app’s own reader with the reader’s chosen font, size, theme and margins, and resume by position exactly like prose.

Earnings accrue per coin unlock and from a VIP revenue pool with a configurable revenue share, tracked on an append-only ledger with CSV statements and author-requested payouts — all administered from the admin panel.

• Settings & Personalization: Light/dark theme, 7 color presets, and 13 languages.
• Monetization Ready: VIP subscriptions, a coin economy, rewarded & banner AdMob ads, 7 paywall layouts, and conversion analytics built in.
• Web Checkout — 6 Payment Providers: sell coins and VIP from the website through Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Paddle, Creem or Dodo Payments. Pick one in .env, test the credentials from the admin panel, and sync every plan and coin pack to it in one click. Webhooks are signature-checked and fulfilment is idempotent, so a payment grants exactly once.
• Media Library with 9 Storage Back Ends & CDN: upload covers, hero art, portraits and chapter narration in the admin panel and keep them on this server, Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, MinIO or Bunny Storage — with Cloudflare, Bunny, CloudFront or any other CDN in front. Attach files with a picker instead of pasting links, and switch provider later without editing a single row. Book PDFs and EPUBs stay on the private disk, behind the entitlement check, as they always were.
• Editable Email Templates: verification code, welcome, password reset, purchase receipt and subscription mails, all editable with a live preview and your own branding. SMTP, Amazon SES, Mailgun or Postmark, configured from the admin panel and testable from it.
• Social Login: Google and Facebook sign-in on the website and in the app, with email-code verification before the first session, and account linking rather than duplicates.
• AI Studio — Ebook, Comic & Audiobook Generator: describe a story in a few sentences and Google Gemini plans it, writes the chapters, draws the cover and comic panels with the same characters on every page, and narrates it in 30 voices and 24 languages. You review and edit every step, then add it to your store — priced, sold and read like any other book. Books you already have can be narrated too. Files go to your own storage (e.g. Cloudflare R2), spending is capped per project and per month, and AI books are labelled AI-assisted on the website.
