About this app
On Written, you buy books direct from the writers who wrote them, actually own every copy, and read in a custom ebook reader built for long nights. The authors here publish their own work, set their own prices, and keep 90% of every sale. The book you buy stays yours. Read it tonight, reread it in two years, return to it at 3am whenever you need to. When you are done with a limited edition, you can list it for resale. Until that moment, no one can take it away. You might buy a book to read once and move on. You might buy to keep. Or you might buy a limited edition early, watch the print run sell out, and resell your copy years later when it has become genuinely rare. The whole creator economy lives inside Written. Authors get paid on every resale, you get a real asset, and books move through the hands that want them. Every purchase goes straight to the author. 90% of every sale, plus…
App details
What you can learn from Written: Read, Collect, Resell
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 12 screenshots above are Written: Read, Collect, Resell's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Written: Read, Collect, Resell runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #DCDCCC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #DCFC04, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
