    What advantages would it have over using an HTML file with CSS and JS in it? One of the advantages of those is that I can pretty much do what I want, as long as I have the knowledge of how to code it

      Essentially it lets you write “passages” as individual files in one of their “story formats” and link them together into a story. The story formats support variables and templating and that sort of thing. You’d probably be most interested in the Snowman format, which simplifies the basic stuff but still lets you hook in your own JS.

      If you’re happy with making everything from scratch, I can totally respect that! I’m just sharing stuff I’ve had fun with.
