Inspirational quote generation, categorization, and presentation system
An application such as a phone app that presents and categorizes inspirational cards that may include quotes and images. Cards may be organized into themes, such as “Seek”, “Scream”, “Speak”, “Strong”. Cards associated with each theme may be installed with the application. Users may generate their own cards by entering text and selecting or taking a photo. Users may bookmark certain cards as favorites. A “Today” category may present a random selection of a few cards, which users can shuffle and reselect as desired. Users may browse cards using a scrollable set of thumbnails, and they may share cards with other users using messaging services or social media services.
