Two changes today:

• Fixed a bug that made it hard to select stories from the library on small screens.
  

• Added a "Start this story over" button after all story ending scenes.
  

Also added a new item to the roadmap: "Use myweft.com stories to make audiobooks and podcasts that branch."

Percival the Botanist Pirate has 27 views, and fewer than half of those are from me testing it.

There are still a few endings that nobody has reached.

Every choice gets near 50-50 traffic except that on "Shoreline", people choose "Temple of the Tides" over "Pearl Caves" 2:1.

There's a new version of myweft.com available now.
It has these changes from the previous version:
* Includes my new interactive story, "Percival the Botanist Pirate."
* Shows stats on how often readers choose each scene exit.
* Separates the published story library from the reading view.
* Adds search and filtering to the library.
* Changes the landing page from the editor to the library.
* Adds the ability to copy a story link and share it.
* Adds the author name, scene count, and view count to the library.
* Allows authors to publish anonymously.
* Allows authors to drag scenes to custom locations on the map.
* Saves and persists custom scene arrangements on the map.
* Adds a map reset button that clears custom arrangements.
* Adds story import. Currently supports myweft exports; other formats to follow.
* Adds dark mode for signed-in users.
* Adds an Author's Note text field for every scene to help writers track thoughts outside story text.
* Adds Command+Return and Ctrl+Enter hotkeys to save and close expanded text boxes.
* Adds a preview mode to let authors experience their stories as readers without publishing.
* Adds bold, italic, and underline text formatting.
* Adds an immutable audit trail.
* Gives authors the ability to set any scene as the landing scene.
* Adds user-experience micro-improvements, such as showing the password length requirement during account creation.
* Fixes defect where the anonymous-publish checkbox text didn't display in dark mode.
* Left-aligns text in the reader view.

If you're a fan of interactive fiction, consider www.myweft.com.

It's a free authoring tool and publishing platform for stories that branch.

Although it's currently bare-bones, it does include:

• A visual, map-based editor to help manage authoring complexity
• User accounts to save works-in-progress
• One-click publishing
• Export, so you can take your story with you
• A 60-second demo story that illustrates the principle of restricted choice

I'm actively working on it, so feedback is gold to me. Thank you.
