I started work on a very simple Interactive Fiction engine (think Twine but with way fewer features) that runs as a Gemini server.

Right now it is configured with a relatively-simple YAML file and the linked example just shows essentially a tour of my house. Describe a room, follow a link to move to another room.

Already this could be used to create simple branching (or linear) narratives, but I'm planning to add the ability to create and track simple conditions to create slightly-more-complex stories.

Anyway, is this something other folks would like to try out? I plan to throw it up on gitlab or sourcehut or something, but I'm wondering what the interest would be for like providing updates to the community and stuff.

So let me know what you think!

Interesting insights into how Kinesis works under the hood. And an interesting discussion of a failure mode it seems like a company the size and maturity of AWS should have protected against (or at least detected sooner).

Looks like we were due for our yearly us-east-1 outage that takes a bunch of global services with it, impacting people in other regions.

Wonder if it's just the usual us-east-1 massive problems we see every so often, or if it's related to upcoming reinvent announcements.
