I love projects like this. It's a really interesting way of exploring story telling. Great job!

@sgoudie Thanks for the kind words Samuel! I really hope one of the stories on LongShorts makes you want to learn more about the characters. Many of these are a prequel, side story, or otherwise related to a more “traditional” work of literature or media. And every like or retweet is a vote for those characters to continue telling their tale online! 👍

Awesome idea! But why is it zoomed in so much (using ios11 / iphone 7) - makes it really hard to read :/

@mahnouel thanks Manuel for giving it a read!what do you mean by zoomed in? Would you prefer the text be smaller? We wanted to make it easy to read and walk at the same time, but could probably make the text adjustable or tone it down a bit :)

@benwtnb The app seems to use a lower resolution than the default one (the status bar is really big). It would be awesome to disable that. In the screenshots on the Appstore it looks fine though - maybe it's a bug?

@mahnouel Thanks for letting me know, I just checked on our interns phone and for some reason it does seem to be zoomed whereas in the simulator it doesn't. Thanks for letting me know! They hadn't noticed it I guess

@benwtnb You're welcome - I'm looking forward to a fixed version! :)
