#2A little flask app to write and validate haikus. It's definitely not perfect and makes some mistakes. It uses the syllables python library to estimate how many syllables are in each word.
You can check the override list at https://haikuvalidator.com/overrides and if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know any words that are broken.
This is my first time making a web app. Hoping that someone finds it fun / useful.

#3This is a haiku

Love the internet!

close comes up as 2 syllables in the app, should be 1.
Nice and simple, very nice app.

"Sometimes" and "sense" are both wrong. I don't think this library is very good

"wrote" came up as 2 syllables :(
Re: Haiku Validator
#7A little pedantic, but: this will tell you if a poem is shaped like the common English conception of a haiku, but it won't tell you if this is a haiku, because a haiku is more than just counting syllables.
Aside from the fact that "syllables" is not exactly the unit being counted in haiku, there are also considerations of theme, tone, and a sort of "open-ended-ness" – among other considerations.
This article served as my introduction to the actual complexities of haiku: https://forgottenpoets.substack.com/p/haiku-thursdays-one-pl...

"space" is counted as 2 syllables, should be 1
Seems like a general problem with words ending in 'e'
Re: Haiku Validator
#9Super fun idea! That syllables package might not be robust enough for this purpose. Even in its documentation's super simple code samples, it estimates the word estimate wrong haha. I think that's somewhat meant to be an admission by the author that it is an estimate.
>>> import syllables
>>> syllables.estimate('estimate')
4
Doesn't matter in the context of making a fun web app though, cool idea!

For this kind of use case it'd be interesting if it could use a dictionary that notes multiple pronunciations. E.g. for "fire" in that list there isn't necessarily a single correct answer https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/eb/qa/fire-one-syllabl...
