Ah, I hadn't seen another site similar to this, but I'm not surprised they exist. Thanks for the feedback, that's definitely the number one piece of criticism I keep hearing.
I recently finished my first website built with Python and Flask. I'm fairly new to programming and would love to hear about how many mistakes I made and all of the ways that I could make it better.
Basically it's Exquisite Corpse and Telephone rolled into a website that lets you create stories with people. I initially just made it for my friends and myself as an experiment and a learning tool, but I'd like to see what others think about it.
It saves stories and keeps track of "story trees", randomly fetching a story piece from the tree each time you read it. People can add new branches to the story or add to an existing branch. I'm hoping that as the number of stories increases you'll get to read some pretty weird stuff and that the chance of reading the exact same thing twice will decrease.
Also I'm a terrible writer so mostly I'm looking for more interesting prompts.
For one, you probably want to add some kind of background to the text -- the large text for the story bits is readable -- but eg: http://www.storystak.com/about is unreadable.
Perhaps something along the lines of:
#content {
color: white;
margin: 0.5%;
padding-top: 2.5%;
padding-bottom: 2.5%;
border-radius:10px;
background: #fff; /* fallback for browsers that don't understand rgba */
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.4)/* transparent white */
}
