Text sings

A shiny app designed to help users make their text sing!

What does the app do?

This app is based on the following writing advice by Gary Provost.

The app takes a text input and highlights the sentences according to their length. The aim is to help those writing texts quickly see whether or not the length of their sentences varies in a way that makes the text “sing”. Any edits users make to their text are reflected in the output, providing immediate feedback.

Can we see a demo?

Sure!

What resources did you use to create it?

• The colours are from Paul Tol’s Light palette

Can I use it?

Of course! Give it a go and let me know how I can improve it!
