Inspire Me is a small browser app that displays a changing stream of words over a soft animated atmosphere. It is built as a static web app with JavaScript, Canvas, CSS typography controls, and a local word corpus.

## What It Does

- Shows a fullscreen generative word stream.
- Modulates timing, typography, color, position, and background drift over time.
- Provides controls for tempo, timing rate, style variation, and visual depth.
- Runs entirely in the browser as static files.
- Supports direct hosting at `/apps/inspire-me/`.

## Technical Shape

The app is plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The word stream uses a local text corpus, CSS custom properties for typography variation, and a Canvas layer for ambient motion and texture. The deployment runs as an independent nginx container on `pluto`.

## Status

Inspire Me is live as an experimental browser app. Current work is focused on interaction polish, responsive behavior, and making the visual state more immersive without adding framework complexity.
