Behind the Urantia App Idea
The Urantia Book Network is a social network based on the book Urantia. The app allows different types of users to connect and communicate with each other via this system. Users of the app can read The Urantia Book in its entirety on the app while also being able to purchase other eBooks from the in-app marketplace. The app is catered to serve three types of users: readers, professors, and vendors.
Readers purchase and read the books on the app, Professors assist the Readers with questions related to a book, and Vendors sell their eBooks on the app. Urantia is an online marketplace for books with all the functionalities of a proper social media application!
