okay hi I made a new thing and I'm pleased to announce it: https://blackout.tilde.town . It's a tool for making blackout poetry using nine million chunks of text extracted from project gutenberg.

It's both an authoring tool and an exploration tool.

It doesn't really work on phones yet is the one thing. I'll work on that next week ^_^()

I wrote a blog post about it: https://tilde.town/~vilmibm/blog/#blackout

if you make stuff with it lmk <3

@vilmibm one suggestion might be to have a sort of 'editing mode' that gives individual pieces a border, so you can more easily find the words

could also do that by tracking if the cursor is inside or outside the editing box, if you wanted it and wanted it to be automatic

@Xkeeper it's an interesting idea. part of my artistic vision (lol) is for the poet to really have to wander and sift through the text but it's possible i've just made it too annoying
