cool! how did you determine the CEFR levels of the stories?

Minor, but I also see a few placeholders like "Why {{appName}}?"

I generated category levels and subcategories first. These are associated to a CEFR level and all that bundled into the story generator.

While it's currently decent for the purpose of language learning, I do need to fix consistency across longer stories because a purely sequential generation suffers from consistency in plot details.

The idea was always to offer real books in the public domian, but I decided to release it with generated stories so I could begin gather feedback on UI/UX.

Thanks for calling that out! I'll look into it.
