Your website is extremely amusing and well done btw, kudos :)

EDIT: Headline Smasher and WWIS both appear to use the same exact button color scheme, too!
- wilg 13y agoI think that's just Bootstrap's default look. I've never seen that site before.
- gamegoblin 13y agoI made the original HN headline generator this is based on. It wasn't inspired by "what would I say." I do machine learning research, and I saw an HN comment that said something like "this is the most HN title I have ever read." And I though "hmmm I could use Markov chains to generate fake HN titles..." So I did. Right now my current HN-based machine learning project is to try to predict if a post will succeed or not, given its title, who posted it, when, etc.
- aroman 13y agoAh, thank you for sharing that. It was a coincidence then. I guess I just assumed that the seeming recent influx of Markov-chain based humorous one-line generators were all connected, but I suppose the WWIS one was a separate occurrence. Unless of course you consider chaos theory... ;)
