Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
We began this site long ago but never completed it.
We call the project a 'Dancing Thesaurus'. It is a brainstorming tool. The idea is to include a digital thesaurus (dictionary of synonyms for all the words in the English language) in the codebase so that users can enter a word and the site will return a list of synonyms, just like thesaurus.com. The difference is in the way we display the synonyms - we want them to move around a window in a pattern. We also want to make it possible to call synonyms for up to 4 different words at the same time and have those synonyms 'dance' around each other. There would be a choice of 3 movement patterns. The only additional rule for movement of words following a pattern in the window would be that no 2 words can ever cross over each other.
The site is already started, see here: http://morganthunder.github.io/dancingthesaurus/
The remaining work concerns adding a digital thesaurus to the codebase. There are a number of options to do this, such as:
https://github.com/words/moby/blob/master/README.md
or using an npm package like: https://www.npmjs.com/package/thesaurus
And programming the movement patterns by creating a control bar at the top of the main 'dance' window where there will be 3 pattern switches to adjust how the words will move and a speed slider to adjust how fast they will execute the selected pattern. A second slider will control how many words can appear on the screen at a time (5-100).
