How Could It Be Better? Leftover Bugs Feature Ideas • Use a host-specified image in the story • Spruce up User Interfaces to make them more appealing. • Have a “Display All Previous Lines” mode (versus only one line) • More fancy HTML output. • Potentially asynchronized Image Libraries across multiple instances • Users with multiple names lead to GUI glitches. • Instructions are questionable • Multiple Children/Laptops/Stories mode is hard to set up.
