Literai - A website for sharing NaNoGenMo stories, a tutorial for Char-RNN, and more! #120

Open myles-oneill opened 8 years ago

myles-oneill commented 8 years ago

For NaNoGenMo this year I decided to work with some friends to create something for the community. We created a new website, Literai:

https://www.literai.com

Literai is a place to share artificial fiction with a broad audience. I hope you consider posting your final novels on it to share them with the world.

We also built out some detailed tutorials (https://www.literai.com/tutorial/) to use Char-RNN as a way to generate artificial fiction relatively painlessly. We hope you try it out!

I'll be using the tutorial on our site to finish my own NaNoGenMo story for this year :)

More tutorials are always a welcome sight.

I think you have a problem with your input validation. I've uploaded a story (Seven Bad Heists) twice, and each time the result is a completely empty story & method section with my ability to edit disabled.

@enkiv2 Thanks for uploading your stories! It definitely looks like something is buggy with the uploader, we're going to look into it and try and fix it. For now I've manually deleted the broken stories.

enkiv2 commented 8 years ago

Thanks. Let me know when it's repaired :)

(The only thing that the story that wasn't uploading properly had that others didn't is percent signs, as far as I can tell.)

@enkiv2 Was the length of that one particularly long compared to the others? The ones you posted might have already been pushing our uploader a bit in terms of size, so that is one theory I have as to why it broke down. If you could email me the file it might help with testing (myles.oneill@gmail.com).

enkiv2 commented 8 years ago

The file in question is https://github.com/enkiv2/NaNoGenMo-2015/blob/master/badHeists.md -- it's only 238k.

@enkiv2 We looked into it and it turns out its because we have a bug in the way we are escaping the text which causes the inclusion of the % sign to break the page. We're going to figure out a fix, but in the meantime if you'd like to post your story you could replace all instances of it in the text with the word "percent", not ideal obviously haha.

enkiv2 commented 8 years ago

Sounds good! I figured it was something like that :)

Hey, checking out your tutorial for Windows - you can use Docker with VirtualBox instead, which is free and quite compatible with Windows Home editions!

myles-oneill commented 8 years ago

@revereche Awesome, I didn't know about that! I'll add it to the tutorial for others :)

My story is in markdown format. When I copy the text from github's (or dillinger.io's) HTML render into Literai's uplaod form, the bold formatting is lost (but the code formatting is preserved). When I copy the raw text into the upload form, Literai doesn't apply markdown formatting. Is there a way around this? I don't intend to manually set all the bold text using the upload form.

myles-oneill commented 7 years ago

@serin-delaunay We are using an open source rich text editor and I'm not super familiar with its quirks. It looks to me like its something fiddly about the dillinger renderer. I used this one from raw markdown and copying from it's HTML Preview copied the formatting correctly: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus

serin-delaunay commented 7 years ago

Thanks, that fixed it. Unfortunately there are percent signs in some of the passwords, so it broke the same way as @enkiv2's.

myles-oneill commented 7 years ago

@serin-delaunay We really need to fix that issue. I manually removed the 2 % signs from your story so it will display properly in the meantime. Thanks for sharing it!

serin-delaunay commented 7 years ago

Thanks! I didn't think to save the Methods section before hitting submit, so I'm relieved I don't have to type it again :D The %s were cipher xs, so I've edited xs in for now.

I copied some rich text from the story into the Methods section, and it produced a change in text size that was visible in the viewing page, but not the editing page. I've managed to clean it up, but it might be a good idea to have text size visible and alterable on the edit page if it can vary on the viewing page.

myles-oneill commented 7 years ago

Good idea, we need to spend a bit of time fixing up the rich text editing to make it cleaner.
