> Real-life human stories with photo receipts — a warm story board by Opti.

Lived is a public feed of moderated true stories. Each story needs photo proof (video via YouTube/Vimeo/Drive links optional). Reading the board is free. Submitters may mark a story free or paid; paid stories require a Lived account so creators can receive 70% of attributable earnings (Opti 30%). Creator share is tracked; payouts when the creator has an account and settle path is on.

Long-form welcome: story bodies up to 80,000 characters. Authors can publish part by part (Part 1 today, continue tomorrow). New parts go through moderation before they go public. Readers see part navigation and proof while reading.
