Silent Poems – Visual expression of unspoken thoughts
An interactive digital art project that turns typed text into flowing, abstract animated symbols. The symbols connect fluidly, much like handwriting, but in an entirely abstract way. Each letter has its own design, and then each instance of the letter has a different seed such that you have slight differences - the same as with handwriting.

In plain words
Silent Poems is an interactive digital art project that converts typed text into flowing, abstract animated symbols. Each letter has a unique design that varies slightly with each instance, mimicking natural handwriting variation while remaining entirely abstract. The symbols connect fluidly as users type, creating a visual representation of unspoken thoughts. It is designed for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of language, visual art, and digital expression.

Project concept, design and implementation by Lavinia Petrache. A statement of our communication shortcomings - with other people, or with ourselves. Inspired by some text messages. The animation is programmed in javascript using the canvas-sketch library. Every abstract letter has its own unique design, and if you learn the language you can read the message. Note: the interaction works only on a

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
