/dead-writers

Reworking a rework of a rework of an app I made when I had been coding for two months.

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Dead Writers

Live Site.

This is a web app that generates new text from the works of deceased writers. There are currently 7 authors on the site:

  • The Brother's Grimm
  • Edgar Allan Poe
  • Oscar Wilde
  • Virginia Woolf
  • Lewis Carroll
  • William Shakespeare
  • HP Lovecraft

The new text is generated from an API that I built that serves up an n-th order Markov model. The API also lets users to tweet their favorite quotes to the 'dead-writers' Twitter account.

A Markov model is "a stochastic model used to model randomly changing systems" in this case the order of words an author uses.
