started on reset-password branch! needs testing + form cleanup

Should probably not be allowed to submit a blank entry?

I tried to copy in some groundwork for capistrano stuff at some point but then got distracted and just started manually deploying instead of fixing things. Figure out how to make cap deploy super easy with Narratron instead of having to SSH into my VPS and restart the rails process

Need to set up robots.txt for public/"private" pages

for signup + add to existing users. Enables future features

depends on #5

need one of these

also a favicon.ico

It might be interesting to reveal another sentence from earlier in the story in addition to the most recent one in rare cases. There's an opportunity to reign in the randomness and also a more challenging constraint in finding a way to connect two points with a third.

this may or may not be reflected in the github repo but for narratron.com production #devops #2014 I need to be backing up an encrypted copy of the production database somewhere

Right now you can technically end your entry with a ; or a ... or something like that! I'd kinda like to leave the option open but some people have said that they'd like to see the two different entries indicated as such when they're reading.

Maybe instead of having one static list of authors at the end of the page it would make sense to indicate the author of a sentence while hovering over it (sorry mobile)... maybe a gutter with author vertically aligned with the sentence (+ share/other actions?)

needs to be broken out into real tasks. The idea is to have the reading experience embrace & support the branching story model more fully by offering the reader the choice of sentences at any branch points so they can read the story they want to read (or all possible stories if they're feeling especially thorough)

Needs both backend work (render json for entries, including info for children in order to show the options for progressing) as well as frontend (html/css/jquery to interact with that backend & create a nice experience for the reader)

Since I'm not really a designer, I've just been dumping information into text form on pages, but the entry page, archive page, and profile page is SUPER text heavy where it probably doesn't need to be. Clean this up and use visual indicators & layout/organization to do what I'm currently leaning really heavily on FULL SENTENCES to do

A modal or help page with stuff like the following:

Propel the story forward! Sentences that just try to interpret what's happening in the previous sentence and play along typically leave the story feeling stagnant. Too many in a row and you have a story that's dead in the water.

Basically help coach people who want to participate but feel like they need help in order to do so

right now I literally run rails in tmux. That's not great

Requires #19

You should be able to customize the message it sends and it should maybe warn you if the person you're tweeting at has their Twitter handle registered with Narratron & they've already participated in this story
