Yes, I also made Ten Second Summaries (#67) with the same object, but this one is less like Ten Second Summaries since the one sentence summaries start to look less like something you can tell to a person in ten seconds.

A automotive...

Quite a lot of "a [aeiou]" in there, how about putting "an" for those to improve readability? (Won't catch all cases but will get many.)

That will require implementing modifiers, and I don't know how to make the parser do modifiers without having to overhaul the grammar format. Maybe I can implement a post-modifier... 🤔

For the next one you could try a Tracery grammar, which comes with modifiers, or inflect.py.

I'd like to not have to limit access to the story to browsers with JavaScript. Also, I'd like to keep it simple.

https://github.com/aparrish/pytracery is a Python library you can use for generating output using Tracery -- no JS needed :)

It's impossible. I mean, I could implement it, but it's absolutely impossible to ship it.

I'm gonna retry tomorrow. Today's update will be underway soon, however.

Also: this ships the a to an post modifier, thanks @hugovk ;)
