  Random Story Prompts

Inspiration

In order to relieve some writer's block, we decided to make a simple sms chat bot to respond with random writing prompts from https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/. We then decided to host a webservice to visualize key topics of these writing prompts in a word cloud.

*Registered domain: www.storystorm.com

What it does

It's a chat bot and real time wordcloud visualization.

How I built it
