It took me a minute to understand what interactive narratives were. It's not a term I've really heard before so I imagined something more like a text adventure.

How about calling it "a high level front end framework based on React"?

Here's a quick sketch at alternate messaging that might be helpful: "Idyll helps you tell data-driven web stories using charts, graphs and other dynamic controls that respond both to direct user interaction, and interaction with the story as a whole."
- mathisonian 9y agoThanks for the input on this. Shaping the language around how to describe the project has been one of the most difficult things for me so far.
- falsedan 9y agoI think they could put 'media' between the 'interactive narratives' (interactive media narratives) and the associations with text-adventures will disappear. Maybe even 'rich media'?
