  • Caren continuing to have storytelling workshops
  • Gregor reworking the backend for more flexibility - this will continue over next months
  • Feedback - Story Browse page - icons, book with heart on it
    • All the same icons on the left are a bit repetitive
    • One possibilty - the three spaces (inside heart, outside heart, ) - try adding some different colour

    • Could also add icons for modes e.g. audio or video - maybe under the main icon
