Public Stories

Welcome to the Public Stories repository! This is where we store most of the pages and documents that other people have made, so everyone can explore Pres. Woodruff's work in new ways. It's also where your work can end up! You can copy this repository to build from if you want to see what others do, or feel free to use our TEMPLATE Folder, which has example web pages, apps, and tutorials for you.

Potential Features

The repository is constantly working to grow and provide additional options for users to interact with and explore the data we have available. Here are a few potential enhancements we have considered building into the current system.

1. Data Visualization: Interactive graphs, charts, or maps could be introduced to help users visualize and engage with the stories.

2. User Contributions: A submission portal could be added to allow users to contribute their own stories or interpretations, further enriching the repository's content.

Please note that these features are potential improvements and are subject to change based on the needs of the project and user feedback.
