Post Description

for a long time, i've felt like the web didn't prioritize fiction as much as it should, so i built a little demo using public domain novels.

a christmas carol is a great little demo (and it holds up! super funny)

i'd love feedback on if it seems useful, particularly the reading/listening transitions, etc
