The app is intentionally simple: pick a genre, provide a few words, and generate a short story. The more useful part of the project was revisiting it with better structure, cleaner generation logic, copy support, export options, audio controls, and a portable Windows release.
Not every portfolio project needs to be an infrastructure platform. This one shows that I can return to old code, improve the user experience, package it properly, and leave it in a better state.
What changed in the modernization
- Updated the app for .NET 8 and a cleaner Windows build.
- Added genre-aware story templates and randomized prompts.
- Added dark mode, audio controls, copy support, and formatted text export.
- Improved the interface so the project feels like a finished utility instead of a class demo.
