The story formats in minified format under story-formats/ exist in separate repositories:
[Harlowe]
Sugarcube-2: https://github.com/tmedwards/sugarcube-2
Sugarcube 2 Macros https://github.com/ChapelR/custom-macros-for-sugarcube-2
Chapbook https://github.com/klembot/chapbook Want a quick look at the output Chapbook produces, or the way you write a code for it? Take a look at the story and its Twee source code. If you’ve never used Twee before, it’s a compact text-only format for Twine stories. The main thing to keep in mind is that each line beginning with :: describes a new passage.
Snowman story format https://github.com/videlais/snowman
Twison story format https://github.com/lazerwalker/twison (for Monogatari)
Trice https://github.com/incobalt/Trice
Protagonist https://github.com/massivedanger/protagonist

Tear-off UI: add a QR code with the room URL to your Start passage. When another client joins, stop displaying passage text in the first browser and instead display full-screen images/video/Flash/Unity.
