2d:null 2e:["$","title",null,{"children":"Digital Writing Version 2 | KarlieDoesNotExist | Observable"}] 33:T4b8,md` ## A little experiment and... I feel that I can improve my work of last week from multiple aspects: - The layout: how to make it easier for people to read, but at the same time a bit disturbing and not too comfortable. - The dynamic (swapping of words): how to make more sense with the dynamic; how to make it more relavant to the content. - The content of the poem: long-term variation and ...? ...but I underestimated the difficulty of implementing those ideas. So I tried to improve my work by introducing the Datamuse API into my programme. With Datamuse, some words in the original poem can be turned to its antonym/synonym, and form a new poem. My original thought was that the new words will continue to be used as queries entered into Datamuse, so that new antonyms/synonyms will be fetched again and forever. The procedure can be automatically repeated until the content of the new piece is far from the original one. But it turned out that I was a newbie of digital writing, and too dumb to make it within several days :(
So below is kind of like the first stage of the implementation - already got stuck on the step of successfully accessing to the new words. Ugh. I tried.
