Story Bio lets you create a simple, story-driven site to use as a social media URL. Think LinkTree, but you get to tell a short story before presenting your links to the viewer.

Users fill out a form to submit the details that get put into a story-book format. A cover with title and image, three short chapters, and a back cover page with up to 5 links.
