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.
