Case study · Custom web application
From an idea to a complete storytelling platform for children
Monistoire is a Quebec-based platform for creating personalized stories for children. Tudio designed the product, its user experience and technical architecture, then developed a complete web application bringing together creation, personalization, reading, audio and family account management.
The product
Design a complete experience, not just a children's website
Monistoire needed to be easy for parents to understand, engaging for children and flexible enough to let each user build a story that feels like their own.
The work therefore started well before development. We needed to define the user journeys, product rules, how a story is created, child profile management, publishing, reading and the supporting features around the experience.
The platform was then custom developed with Symfony to maintain full control over the experience and allow the product to evolve progressively over time.
- Product strategy and functional architecture
- UX/UI design across the entire platform
- Custom Symfony development
- Ongoing evolution of the product and its features
A complete experience
From the first idea to the moment the story comes to life
The product supports several stages of the journey without requiring the child or parent to switch tools.
Create
Build pages, choose backgrounds, add characters and personalize the content in the Studio.
Publier
Turn the project into a finished story and access it from the personal or family space.
Read and listen
Enjoy the story in a reading experience designed for children, with audio narration when available.
At the heart of the product
A creative Studio designed to let children build their own stories
The Studio combines writing and visual composition in a single interface. Users can work page by page, choose a background, place characters and build a story without having to learn complex creative software.
The interface needed to remain simple enough for families to use while offering enough possibilities for every story to feel genuinely personal.
- Page-by-page creation and editing
- Customizable backgrounds, characters and elements
- Writing support tools integrated into the experience
- Experience designed for children and parents
The user space
A dashboard bringing stories, profiles and account management together
Monistoire is more than an editor. The user space makes it possible to find creations, organize the family experience and quickly access the platform's important features.
Stories
Find drafts or published creations and easily continue a project.
Child profiles
Adapt the experience to the family and organize access according to profiles.
Account and usage
Centralize account information and features related to using the service.
The outcome for the child
A story created in the Studio becomes a complete reading experience
Once published, the story leaves the creation interface and becomes content to read and share. The reading experience puts the illustration front and centre and can also include audio narration.
Behind the interface
A platform combining product, content and application logic
The visible interfaces are only one part of the work. Monistoire also relies on an application architecture capable of managing accounts, stories, permissions, content and the product's different features.
Custom Symfony application
An architecture developed specifically around the product, without relying on a generic website model.
- Custom business logic
- Account management
- Stories and publishing
- Feature evolution
Writing companion
Tools integrated into the experience to help generate ideas, improve the text and support creation without replacing the child.
- Ideas and templates
- Writing support
- Corrections and explanations
- Accompagnement contextuel
Reading and audio
Created content can be enjoyed as a real story, with a dedicated reading interface and audio options.
- Reading mode
- Audio narration
- Page-by-page reading
- Immersive experience
Family experience
The product accounts for the roles of both parent and child, with spaces and usage rules adapted to each.
- Child profiles
- Parental management
- Content access
- Personal library
