Very cool! I like the interface. For anyone interested in this and similar ideas, haiku/senryū detection is a feature of this old project of mine: https://versepad.com

I expected ball lightning to be mentioned in the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

I see a lot of comments here asking about practical motivations for this feature. One I'll share is that in a gem I help maintain, we benchmark git branches of the gem against `mai…

Ooh thank you for the tip!

This is the keyboard I’ve been hoping Apple would make for years! I’ve currently got a UHK 60 but would probably switch to this if I could buy it. Especially if it had the standard…

memo_wise maintainer here. No pressure from me to try it out, but if you do use it and have any feedback or suggestions please let us know!

Semi-related: years ago I made a silly little running pace converter site: https://pace.ninja/ I’m not a huge runner but still find myself using it all the time, both for my own oc…

Thanks for the feedback! I would love to eventually support multi-stanza forms like villanelles and sestinas but that requires some more thought. Are there other forms or features …

Thanks for the feedback! I made some changes a few years ago[1] to make Versepad work on my own iOS phone (the only mobile device I have). Can you share more details (or a video wo…

Hi all! Versepad creator here. I did not expect to see this on HN today but I’m happy to answer any questions and would appreciate any feedback!

Or this one: https://neal.fun/deep-sea/

Very cool! Not sure if that's your site but if so, nice work. :)

I guess it depends on what you consider a default header. (I’m not too familiar with standards here; there may be some IETF definition you’re referring to?) It turns out if you hav…

Thank you! My hope was to make it accessible to non-technical readers while still being fun for people who are familiar with HTTP innards.

Thank you for the kind words! I feel the same.

Happy National Poetry Month (USA), HN!

https://ja.cob.land Should have another fun post out within the next week!
