It’s the beginnings of a web-based “choose your own adventure” book builder.

I’m sure other such things exist, but I wanted to build one with a focus on a natural authoring process - no HTML or Markdown, just one plain text so you can quickly type your way to fun.

The primary users (both for authoring and playing the books) will be my kids.

I’m also getting a kick out of building it with zero dependencies (I’m not counting the linter/formatter, Biome) in JavaScript), especially enjoying writing tests with just `node:assert`.

I’m planning on making it themeable in the style of CSS Zen Garden - I.e. you can’t change the generated HTML but you can style it with CSS however you like.
