Feature Request: Interactive Story Elements

Summary

Add interactive elements to stories that let children click on items to learn more - definitions, facts, spelling, and animations.

Use Cases

  • Definitions: Tap a word/character to hear/see its definition
  • Facts: Tap animals/objects to see fun facts
  • Spelling: Interactive spelling of key vocabulary words
  • Animations: Simple animations when interacting with story elements
  • Hotspots: Clickable regions on coloring pages or images

Examples

  • Tap "🐻" → "Bear - A large, furry animal that lives in the forest"
  • Tap "🏠" → "House - A building where people live"
  • Tap on a tree in maze → "Trees give us oxygen!"

Technical Considerations

  • Could use data attributes on HTML elements
  • TTS integration for pronunciation
  • Simple CSS animations or sprite-based animations
  • Extensible "interactions" config in chapter data

Priority

  • Nice to have for engagement
  • Keep optional so basic stories still work

Related

  • Inspired by "The Diamond Age" Primer concept - reactive learning materials
  • Complements existing activity configuration system

Triaged for decomposition

This issue bundles 5 distinct sub-features (Definitions, Facts, Spelling, Animations, Hotspots) — implementing them under one issue would force a single commit and prevent independent review/triage.

State: reopened (still needs implementation) and re-labeled decompose + feature-request + triage-approved.

Suggested sub-issues for the decompose pipeline:

  1. Definitions — tap word → TTS-readable definition popup. Touches: chapter data model (DefinitionConfig), StoryActivity, Web server rendering.
  2. Facts — tap object → fun-fact popup. Same shape as definitions, different content type.
  3. Spelling — tap word → interactive spelling UI. Touches StoryActivity intent + new SpellingActivity.
  4. Animations — sprite or Lottie playback on tap. Adds animation library dependency (decision needed).
  5. Hotspots — clickable regions on coloring pages / images. Touches ColoringCanvasView hit-testing.

Open design questions (need user input before decomposition):

  • Definition/fact content source — bundled in stories.json or fetched from a separate file?
  • Interaction config schema — extend activity_config or add a top-level interactions array per chapter?
  • Web parity — web/server.py needs the same interaction framework?
  • TTS locale switching — current code hardcodes Locale.US in MazeActivity.

Once the design questions above are answered, this issue is ready for decompose-forgejo-issue to split into 5 well-scoped sub-issues.

Prior quickfix attempt on 2026-05-27 (gsd-issue-fixer-activity-book-app-1) made no changes and was closed without effect.
