kennethreitz da82cd6ee2 Multi-anchor rhyme keys + Dictionary mode in the sidebar
KET-a-mine can now rhyme from its first primary stress, not just its
dictionary-final one, so it joins meth-am-PHET-a-mine's family; multi
buckets claim biggest-first since tokens carry several anchor keys.
The lookup panel grew a fourth mode: Dictionary.

RhymePad

A scratchpad for poets & rappers. Write in the pad; rhymes are detected phonetically (CMU Pronouncing Dictionary) and color-coded as you type — end rhymes, internal rhymes, and slant rhymes included. Comes with a rhyme/synonym lookup, draggable stanza reordering, and synthesized beats with adjustable tempo.

Run

$ uv run uvicorn app:app --reload

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000.

How rhyme detection works

  • Every word is mapped to its CMU phonemes (pronouncing), with lyric-friendly fallbacks (runnin'running, possessives, and a spelling heuristic for made-up words).
  • Perfect rhymes share everything from the last stressed vowel on (tonight / light / flightAY T). These are matched anywhere in a line — that's the internal rhyme detection.
  • Slant rhymes share just the vowel sounds from the last stressed vowel (hold / coal). Applied to line endings that didn't find a perfect match.
  • Same color = same sound. Underline = line-ending rhyme (the stanza's a/b/a/b scheme); soft glow only = internal rhyme.

API

  • POST /api/analyze {"text": "..."} → token spans, rhyme groups, per-stanza schemes, per-line meter
  • GET /api/lookup?word=light&mode=rhyme|near|syn → frequency-ranked rhymes / near rhymes (by syllable count) and WordNet synonyms (by part of speech)

Dictionary definitions in the UI come from the free dictionaryapi.dev; everything else is served locally.
