Show HN: Random naming inspiration
- bazzargh 11y agoI think the hit rate is a bit low. Might be better if, like a slot machine, there were buttons to 'hold' words. You should be able to both hold one word so that it stays fixed while the other varies, and hold it so that its replacement is picked from related words (eg using wordnet). That way you could focus on random-ish names that are related to a concept, rather than exploring the entire space.
- afternoontrick 11y agoI like the idea of focusing on words related to a concept. Maybe I could add the ability to like each word independently, and change the probability distribution of the following words using the closeness to the ones liked. That way the user will narrow the space of possibilities to the ones related with the topic of interest.
