What a cool little tool. Some suggestions:
* When I pass more than one file (stories2cards add_user add_user2) I get:
Note to developer: requested section(s) [usage] not found
This file was generated by RubyGems.
The application ‘pdf-storycards’ is installed as part of a gem, and this
file is here to facilitate running it.
* What’s RDoc::usage doing in bin/stories2cards?
* Lose –output and instead rely on the user specifying a file to redirect to (using >). More in the spirit of Unix tools.
* Don’t add smart logic to alter the narrative. We’re likely to add support for other languages, and your language logic will never be smart enough.
* Make it more embeddable so it can be integrated with a Ruby webapp that serves PDFs
Looking forward to how this evolves!!
