I’ve been wanting to write a Mastodon/Twitter twine compiler that would take an existing Twine story and compile it to a list of posts.

The primary difficulty is in flattening the state, which twine supports (apple=true, key=false in this story) but if it’s not too many variables might work out.

Nice list. Your collaborative bookmarking favorite is on the Fediverse with Postmarks [0], and another alternative in the making (forgot name).

Thanks, never thought of looking into Fediverse for bookmarking but it makes sense in hindsight.

Will add these to the idea doc and try them out.

I'm new to this, are there Twine stories somewhere that I can download? Do you know? Does Twine "play" them? Sorry, these questions are very rudimentary.
The Twine website links to a few, along with thousands at IFDB; https://ifdb.org/search?searchbar=system%3Atwine

And itch: https://itch.io/games/tag-twine

See the Twinery for more, including the spec: https://twinery.org/

Thanks, I had gone to Twine's site but didn't scroll down far enough. This is great, thanks!
