Reaction as call-to-action
Readers send you a short message right inside the Scrolly. You read the messages in the editor once the Scrolly is published.
Tutorials right inside the editor
Short lessons walk you step by step through the Pro Editor, the template editor and the build-for-you flow. You click along instead of reading a manual.

The template editor now runs on iPhone too. Pick a template, type your texts, drop in images, publish, all with your thumb, with the preview always in view.
Voting and rating as call-to-action
Readers vote or rate with stars right inside the Scrolly. You see the results in the editor as bars and in analytics per question, with CSV export and reset.
Scrolly from photos, PDF or link
Pick a source on the home page, Scrolly reads it and builds a first draft with cards, quotes and figures. Then continue in the editor.
