Author & CodeXStory
Meet the creator behind books written in code - and the vision shaping this evolving narrative world.
Read like code. Feel like cinema.
Vivi Dibrova — creator of CodeXStory
I'm a software engineer with more than seven years of experience, an illustrator, and an author at heart — writing has been my calling since childhood. For years, I lived between two worlds: building systems by day and crafting small stories by night, always searching for a format that could connect both sides of my thinking.
One day I wondered why stories couldn’t look like code — structured, visual, rhythmic. I searched for a book written this way and found nothing. So I began shaping the format myself.
The first manuscript waited for its moment. Life shifted, projects changed, but the idea stayed close — unfinished, unforgotten. Eventually, in a time when the world felt unstable, the draft returned to me, and I approached it with new clarity and purpose.
That became the seed of CodeXStory - a place where I publish books written in code, experiment with new narrative structures, and explore how stories can feel cinematic, logical, and alive.
If you enjoy stories that think like systems and read like movies, welcome to my world.
Journey of CodeXStory
- It began quietly - with sketches, stories, and the feeling that creativity lived between code and imagination.
- Then came structure: years of engineering that taught rhythm, clarity, precision.
- Then came the question: What if a story could behave like software?
- Searching for answers led to building a new form instead.
- A manuscript grew into a format; a format grew into a world.
- CodeXStory continues to expand - one experiment, one book, one idea at a time.
