You can create your own Annotations or Sweets, log in to http://restory.swtr.us/ load any image or website from the internet to Annotate. Then you can use your annotations and Swts to create a Restory. To start with you can Restory with the current available annotations at http://restory.swtr.us/#/linked-data

Step 1: Prepare Markup - An Author can choose to use the available HTML templates, narrative-theme1.html or narrative-theme2.html from this repo or can use a own theme.

Step 2: To embed Media from a Sweet Store - Part I: Choose the Sweets you need to embed in your markup - Visit the App http://restory.swtr.us/#/linked-data to browse the Sweets or image annotations from the Sweet Store http://thestore.swtr.in Make a note of the Sweet ID, of the annotation you want to embed in the markup. see below screenshot. Create a html div with ID=”Swt-id” in your theme markup prepared from Step 1.

Part II: Make suitable changes to js/chapters.js file, to fetch annotations from SWT-Store we pass the Json arguments to the function call like, {el: “#story-content”, “who”:”scribe”, “what”:”img-anno”, “tag”: “lolcat”} el->container element to load sweets, “who”-> User name for the Sweets, “what”-> Type of annotation “tag”-> common tagset for the el.

Input the Sweet store URL in line # 18,
