Looks like its this. https://short-edition.com/en/p/short-story-dispenser

Wish it was open sourced.

    Do you want to open source the stories or the machine?

    The concept is good but technically it seems dead easy: three buttons, a raspberry pi or similar and a thermal printer connect via usb.

    I just want instructions to follow. I can maybe for the hardware but finding the stories is another thing.

    I see their site has links to all the stories but I'm not sure how to call one at random and format out only the story.
