Awesome! I had been meaning to build something like this for a while now, but never got around to it.
Is it possible to annotate your text with extra 'stage directions' that influence how the book is read out?

Good idea, not something I've considered yet. Wouldn't take much to add it since there's already a feature for selecting a quotation and assigning it an intonation. Same infrastructure could be reused to select arbitrary text and assign stage directions.
Nice! One suggestion: don't just make this apply to text, but also to a specific cursor position (you could say a zero-length text selection where start=end). That's natural if you eg want to say that between one sentence and the next, or one word and the next, you want to insert the sound of a train arriving or a sigh.
