    1. Is there any chance for an app, preferably for mobile devices.
    2. A way to download/convert stories for offline usage,meaning not like epub, mobi or html but more like stories over in IFDB.

    Hello Gyutze,

    Thank you for your message!

    My next goal is to convert CHYOA to a React-based SPA/PWA. To achieve this, there will be a client-side front end that runs in the browser, and an API with corresponding endpoints as the back end.

    These technical changes will make it possible to offer an offline mode that can be used to read stories when the internet is not available. In this context there will be a progressive web app. A separate app with a separate code base for app stores is currently not planned, as restrictions apply here on the part of the operators. However, I think a PWA will be sufficient for our purposes.

    I hope I was able to give you some insight into the direction of CHYOA.

    Thank you Friedman. Honestly as long as there an offline mode Ill be happy and PWA sounds great. Good luck, can't wait to see it.
