		fdb on March 18, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Show HN: XKCD-inspired StackSort I've created a weekend hack that allows you to specify a minimal grammar and then generates text (which can be code) using it. It's called Choice Words (https://github.com/fdb/choicewords) It can generate poems but also generative designs (see the README).

That generated drawing in the README.md looks like something i'd hang in my kitchen. You should try selling these ;)
