So the thing that I have worked on that's most directly inspired by warehouse 13 is this old idea called #dreadfulDocs
The idea is pretty simple:
High level overview: It's a collection of documents from a victorian era attempt to catalog the occult (the "dreadfuls") presented as an Archive in process.
Now that we're working on #NETV I keep seeing how this could play out as a TV show.
@tardisx ditto.
I have an idea for a project using those libs too...
I've written about it here before under the tag #dreadfulDocs
I think it would be super fun to present the dreadful docs as a gemini first reading experience, with a charm.sh based ssh viewer and editor.
I could build a SSH based TUI for #dreadfulDocs and start working on the associated ARG style content.
I believe @djsundog might have some experiencewith ARG style content.
Alright, I can see how #dreadfulDocs could be implemented for a BBS style interface. I understand what it will take to build. Everything but user management I could easily do as a weekend project.
It's basically just a menu driven interface to a document database that displays basic markdown and can shell out to a text editor for authorized users.
The "document database" is probably just a sqlite file and a directory of .gmi files.
I can also serve the gmi files over gemini directly.
Alright.

I've been trying to think of a way to organize something like The Dreadful Docs in a way that would differentiate it from something like SCP, etc.
I don't want a wiki. I don't want it to be editable on the web. I want it to be smaller and weirder than that.
This is an old idea that surfaces every once in a while. I wrote the pitch before I knew about SCP, but the premise can be distilled as Victorian/Turn of the Century SCP.
I used to describe it as "A less fatalistic Warehouse 13 (well, warehouse 12, it's the victorian era.)" and both of those things give an impression of the idea, but neither of them really Explains the #dreadfulDocs so let me go grab an old ideas file and copy and paste.
