Text only version of the motive image
I created this project because first of all I love quotes, then I didn't find an app or service having the same proposition value of kwotes, including:
- A multiplatform app
web & mobile at least - Modern & elegant interface
simple and not bloated with ads - Source diversity
quotes from films, tv series, books, musics , ... - Open to contribution
users can propose new quotes and access application code bade.
kwotes as a service will propose a public API to fetch quotes from the database. It's one of the goals of this project in a long-term scenario. The API will probably have a free & paid tier.
I take most of my quotes in movies, tv series, books & music. Those sources are very different from each other and it's something I really appreciate. I wouldn't like to limit the fun to only books.
Don't limit yourself neither in the form of sources. Culture is very vast and rich. We don't have to stay in one medium.
This project welcomes contributions whatever its size. You can participate in different ways:
- Give your general feedback & suggestions
- Submit new quotes in the app
- Report a bug/Open a GitHub issue
You cannot run this app on you local environment yet. I'll have to clone the firebase backend into a test project for security reasons.

You can freely add a quote to the app after creating an account.
The service is manually handled and is not an automated process, so a human will read and validate your quote if it respect some basic rules:
- Your quote should be short (1 sentence or 2); it's not a poem.
- It must be easily understandable
- It should sparkle an emotion or welcome a reflexion
- Avoid offensive words of ideas (e.g. racism, sexism)
These validation criterias are completely subjective.
We can't assure you than every submission will be accepted but you can improve your chances with these tips:
- Check the grammar, sentences' structure and ponctuation
A quote with a lot of mistakes is more likely to be rejected - Provide a valid author
And if this author doesn't already exist in the database, give a good amount of information - Give a valid reference
And if this reference doesn't already exist in the database, give a good amount of information - Correctly categorize the quote with available topics (necessary)
On the contrary, a short list of usual rejections:
- Hard to understand due to missing or partial information
- Strong language, offensive words or ideas
- Too ordinary (the sentence doesn't have any particularity - e.g.: The sun is red.)
If you still have doubts, you can always open an issue here.
Whenever you're down, look up. It'll make your realize just how big and beautiful the world is.
