Edit Text, See Relevant Images. ~200 Lines Of JavaSript

I was experimenting with different term-extraction API's and I came up with this simple HTML5/CSS3/JS thing that shows you relevant images as you enter text. http://bupad.agen.si Basic scenario - User enters text - Terms are instantly extracted from content via Alchemy API - Google Image search is used to find relevant images on Flickr - Images are shown in the background There are some minor perks like the fact that the image searches are rotating around the color wheel (Google let's you specify a desired color of the image), and content is also stored in LocalStorage. The prototype has a…

In plain words

Edit Text, See Relevant Images is a web tool that displays relevant images as users type. It automatically extracts key terms from the entered text using the Alchemy API, then searches for matching images on Flickr with colors rotating through the spectrum. The results appear as a dynamic background while users work. Built with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, it's designed for writers and content creators who want visual inspiration while composing. Text is saved locally in the browser.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
