Meteor Lodge is a mobile reading application designed for the iOS system. The application connects readers with independent writers. Independent writers can publish their books on the platform quickly and without high expenses. Readers can browse a wide selection of niche titles in one place, instead of searching across many websites and social media accounts. A shared space allows readers and writers to exchange insights. The interface was developed through research phases of understanding, ideation, prototyping and testing.

The product offers indie writers a platform for quickly publishing writer works. At the same time, the BookReading also provides a platform for users to communicate. - Design Challenge
- The application's primary users are indie writers who wish to publish their books on a platform and who want to read books from indie writers and share feedback with other readers and writers.
