Hi Product Hunt 👋 NetFable turns public-domain classics into interactive fiction you read a line at a time: narration arrives in short beats, other characters speak on the left, you're on the right, and where the original gives its narrator a decision, you make it. Epistolary books suit it best — Dracula and The Woman in White were already told in letters and diaries, so they become conversations almost unchanged. What's there: 55 classics adapted complete (Pride and Prejudice runs to 95 chapters, The Woman in White to 136), 12 more six chapters in, and about 480 that are an opening chapter so far. At the end of an opening there's an "Ask for the next chapter" button, and that's how I decide what to write next. To be upfront: the adaptations are generated with AI (Claude) from the public-domain texts, and the cover art is AI-generated too. Every story page says so, along with the book, author and year it comes from. It's free: no account needed, no ads, no payments. The reader is a single HTML file with no framework, and I built it on my own, mostly with Claude Code. What I'd most like feedback on is the first chapter. Most readers who leave, leave there; once someone reaches chapter two they usually keep going. If you open one and stop, I'd really like to know where and why.
