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.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
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 "bug" (HTML5 ContentEditable isn't a good enough replacement for a WYSIWYG, only works in Chrome in Safari) and a few "missing features" (Enlarging images and so on). Right now it's pretty much client-side, everything happens in JS (OOP Prototype and jQ for Cross-site JSON-P requests): http://bupad.agen.si/javascripts/application.js Reasons for posting: I want to gauge the potential and get some feedback. I realize there are players like Zemanta in this field, but I'm pretty sure this could be applied to different use cases. I am flat broke and late with rent. Will do UI design, Front-End (HTML/CSS/JS) or Server-Side (Rails) development for food & bills. Check my profile for references. If you have work to be done, you want to get in touch with me at [email protected]. You will save a fellow hacker and enjoy my eternal gratitude, as well as my premium services at a discount.

Yesterday the top upvoted comment for "Why We Desperately Need a New (and Better) Google" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2057772 was adding personal domain blacklists. I offered to build this if there was enough interest so here's a minimum viable product for Chrome (Firefox soon to follow): https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jiicbcimbjppjbckmoknagndlhjbeohb. Your feedback is welcome!
