Description
Circle, a social storytelling app that turns real-life meetups into fictional episodes. Users create an Arc, add their friends, and every time they gather, they can upload a photo, a short note, or even an image from the moment together with a cut of their gathering (audio or video). The app then will convert speech to text and uses Gemini to transform that real gathering into the next episode of their ongoing story world.
README excerpt
# Circle 🪐 *Life is a circle, made up of many arcs.* **Circle** is a social storytelling web application built on the idea that every friendship, every gathering, and every shared moment forms part of a larger circle. But in Circle, those moments do not just stay as static memories — they are reimagined as unfolding stories in parallel universes. Users create an **Arc** (a universe theme), add their friends as characters, and every time they meet, they can record an **Episode**. By uploading a photo, dictating a short note, or typing a summary of that gathering, Circle uses the **Google Gemini API** to transform the real-life meetup into the next chapter of their ongoing story world. An ordinary dinner can become a mystery in an old town, a walk in the park can become an adventure in a fantasy realm, or a coffee chat could become a chapter in a futuristic cyberpunk planet. ## Features - **Interactive 3D Planet Interface**: Built with Three.js/React Three Fiber. Your arcs orbit like rings around a central planet. - **AI Story Generation**: Automatically converts raw notes and Speech-to-Text dictations into dynamic, action-driven narrative episodes. - **Multimodal AI Image Processing**: Upload real photos of your gatherings, and Gemini will generate a stylized comic-book illustration of the event to accompany the story. - **Real-Time Dictation**: Use the browser's native Web Speech API to dictate notes instantly without typing. - **Universe Consistency**: Gemini maintain
