Show HN: Neovella turns writing into a team sport, publishes the best
- illdave 15y agoI really think this is an excellent, excellent idea - I'm perhaps not your target audience, but I can see instantly how it could be useful. It's definitely an interesting idea.
- neoveller 15y agoHey guys, this is a project I've been working on for several months now. The idea is to make the Internet a less lonely place, and let people write stories together both in real time and at their leisure, fearlessly weaving their ideas through each other's to ultimately create a pretty unique and immersive experience of content creation. There was an initial posting about Neovella on HN back in February in which I received some great feedback via the comments. I took all of that and built it into this new release of Neovella, and now I'm ready to hear more to make it even better. Any kind of feedback would be appreciated. :)
- revorad 15y agoYour registration form is too long to bother signing up just to try out your site. The FB connect button gave me an error: "Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Why don't you let me try it without signing up? I'm going to get a T-shirt which says that.
- neoveller 15y agoYou are still able to browse the full library of works available on the site from the home page without registering. Is anyone else experiencing the facebook connect button error?
- neoveller 15y agoThanks for the no-login suggestion. I really didn't want to go down the 4chan road, but it might make this interesting.
- rokhayakebe 15y agoWould this work like git? So you can fork a story, work on it then commit?
- neoveller 15y agoPerhaps not so exactly. Since there are multiple authors somewhat disorganized, it's a matter of either being placed in line to write (real-time, all online at the same time), waiting for your turn to add, or receiving email notifications that the story has been updated, at which point you can take some time to add the next entry before submitting--but in this time period, someone else may have continued it and diverged.
- neoveller 15y agoIf anyone would like to demo this with me, who has likely made an account and felt a bit lost / left out, here's a new story I'm starting. http://nvll.me/uRVK http://nvll.me/uRVK
- neoveller 15y agoThis one was finished before anyone from HN jumped in. New one here: http://nvll.me/uTgv http://nvll.me/uTgv
