A self-generating story that gets longer the more stars it gets
- bil7 4y agoi had a glimmer in my eye and a sparkle of hope reading the readme; it fizzled out with no supernova upon reading the story.
- humanistbot 4y agoI can see the novelty in this, but it also seems like a very gimmicky way to get a bunch of stars in your repo.
- humanistbot 4y agoAnd looking at the story [1], I see even less novelty. Seems like for each person who stars it, it generates a single madlibs-style sentence in the form of: "In a [geographical feature] along the [path], a [profession] observed [number of existing stars] new stars in the sky and decided to follow the [adjective] path. They set out on a [adjective] morning." [1] https://lizadaly.github.io/there-are-stars/ https://lizadaly.github.io/there-are-stars/
- ShamelessC 4y agoAh yes, even more proof that no one clicks on anything that makes it to the front page.
- xigoi 4y agoThis is… starbait.
- jb1991 4y agoThis controversy is actually.. stargate.
- ggerganov 4y agoHa, this is similar to an idea that I had some time ago: https://the-story.ggerganov.com https://the-story.ggerganov.com This is again a type of collaborative story-telling where you can vote for each word once per day. New words are added as more votes are accumulated. I thought it would be interesting to see it grow, but unfortunately - it has been just me and a friend submitting votes from time to time :D Edit: punctuation is intentionally not supported
