Storybook app (2013 — first app)

Field Value
Status Exploratory / paused decision — native app redone; App Store resubmit TBD; companion movie ~75% done, paused
Type Personal / creative (first app + story IP)
Origin First app ever built (2013) — interactive storybook
Movie IP Space Zoo — evolved animated movie version of this same story (see projects/grok-imagine-creative-video#lane-2--space-zoo-animated-movie)

Description

Darcy's first app from 2013 — an interactive storybook. The native app has been redone for modern iOS; App Store resubmission is under consideration but not decided.

Space Zoo is the cinematic evolution of this IP — a feature-length animated movie, not a separate unrelated project. Same story world; the movie is where the storybook grows up.

Blocker: the story itself feels weak by current standards — same issue that stopped the parallel Space Zoo video (~75%).
