About

wordlol is built on the Lit Web Component library, it randomly generates definitions by calling the OpenAI Chat completion API, and it is bundled with Vite. API calls are made with Netlify functions and can be substituted for any serverless function provider.

Usage

To get started with wordlol follow these steps:

  • git clone https://github.com/WillsonSmith/wordlol.git
  • Add an OPENAI_API_KEY to your Environment variables (.env file).
    • Sign up for on OpenAI to get an API key.
  • npm install
  • npm start
    • This requires Netlify for functions. You can replace the API or run npm run dev to run the application without functions.
  • If you use Netlify the browser should automatically open, if not, follow the link in your terminal.
  • Enter a word or a phrase in the search bar and click the "Search" button.
  • The application will generate a definition for the word or phrase you entered.
