Discoverability

GMTales surfaces the right information at the right time — through activity feeds, unread tracking, relevance, and comparison views — so nobody has to announce changes manually.

Activity Feeds

  • User feed — a personalized feed of new and updated articles and notes across your campaigns, grouped by day.

  • Campaign feed — recent edits and new articles in one campaign, with author and timestamp.

Unread Tracking

GMTales tracks what each user has read:

  1. Viewing an article marks it read.

  2. When the article changes, it becomes unread again.

  3. Unread indicators appear throughout the interface.

Comparison View

When an article changed since your last visit, the comparison view shows exactly what's new — additions in green, removals in red strikethrough. See Change Tracking for how diffs work.

Relevance

Mark how central an article is with the relevance directive — a kingmaker like Aragorn might rate 98, a quiet curiosity like Bag End 70:

<!-- relevance: 98 -->

Relevance is used in two places:

  • Sort — list view can sort by relevance (highest first).

  • Filter — the overview filter panel has a relevance threshold slider that hides articles below a chosen value.

Pinned Articles

<!-- pinned --> # The One Ring

Pinned articles always sort first in overview lists — ideal for campaign introductions, active plot hooks, or core references like the artifact driving the whole story.

Author Tabs

The overview groups articles by author: All Authors, Game Masters, and a tab per individual author. Tabs update dynamically with active filters and search.

Full-text search covers titles, content, and metadata. Results highlight matches and combine with type and label filters.

Overview Layouts

Four layouts emphasize different kinds of discovery: List (summaries), Index (dense scanning), Tree (hierarchies), and Graph (relationships). See Navigation.
