Thermal Printer Story App
An Android app that prints stories using a thermal printer. Clients manage content via a dashboard, delivering personalized prints on demand.
A complete end-to-end automation solution built around a Citizen thermal printer. It enables content like short stories or comics to be delivered from the cloud and printed instantly on a physical device through a custom Android app.
The ecosystem includes:
- Android App: Connects to the Citizen printer via USB. Users select a content category, and the app fetches a relevant story from the server and prints it.
- Supabase Edge Functions: Securely process category requests from the app and return appropriate stories based on active client configurations while avoiding duplicates.
- Client Dashboard: Allows partners to upload and manage story content, assign categories, group by themes or authors, and monitor usage.
- Admin Dashboard: Enables platform-level moderation, access control, and multi-client oversight.
The platform is designed to scale across multiple clients and printer units, ensuring that each partner receives curated, non-repeating stories relevant to their audience.
A seamless integration of IoT, serverless architecture, and mobile-first UX, delivering personalized physical prints on demand.
