The story formats in minified format under story-formats/ exist in separate repositories:

[Harlowe]

Paperthin

Snowman

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

Cradle - Twine and Unity https://github.com/daterre/Cradle

Multiplayer https://github.com/mildmojo/twine-gang

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.
