What is this I see? This I don't understand. Near matches, you say? I am at your command. But the matches don't match! The rhymes, they are off! What am I to do? My brain is too soft. Yet now I move boldly Into a new verse The fucking matches don't work. Fuck this bullshit. I could try to understand. Study like I'm in school. The numbers on the left. They seem kind of cool. But my attention can't hold. The wide inter…

Let me start of by saying thank you! Your feedback is great at any rate The near matches are there to guide you through Tough words you may face that leave you stuck at the gate But alas near matches help give you a clue To help keep your poem straight This tool is still yet a hack and much too new Have a bit of hope and we will help you create Great poetry for all to view I don't believe we are doomed in fate The po…

    I do think it's nice
    I poke and I jest
    This mu'fuckin thingy
    It's really the best

    Despite the bad rhymes
    Showing up on the right
    I think this here app
    Is tighter than tight

    Do you not see wrong words?
    Showing up over there?
    Right now it says "bright"
    Which we both know ain't right
    My poem til here
    Was like ABCB?
    A failure perhaps
    To detect that rhyme scheme?

    I'm not a poet 
    I think you can tell
    I'm just like a kid
    Just ringing a bell

    So what do I know?
    Maybe it's right.
    I'll stop here for now
    And bid you goodnight.
Edit: Ooohhhh, I'm supposed to enter the Rhyme Scheme manually. I assumed it was supposed to be automatically inferred from the poem. It wasn't obvious to me that the rhyme scheme is an input field.

How do I save what I wrote?

This is something we didn't get to at the hackathon. I agree that this is a feature that needs to be there. We plan on implementing a user system where people can save their poems and choose whether they're private or public. We don't really want to add more features than necessary though. Less is more and whatnot.

You want to save it into Github with revision I would say - a bit like http://prose.io/

This is cool. I didn't see anyone else asking for spell check, so may I be the first? Also, some sort of completion would be nice - maybe have tab complete the top word?
