“Poementor” — MASTER-PLAN

[BFGriffith]

• a “M.E.A.N.-stack” (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) application for aspiring poets and lyricists that streamlines composing, editing, annotating, storing, and sharing all sorts of verse — as well as providing dynamic templating, modeling, and tutorial functionalities that conveniently aid writers in more easily conforming to various traditional poetical forms, metrical prosody structures, rhyme-schemes, etc.

User-Stories

Minimum Viable Product — User-Story summaries:

• a “guest” reader can create an account in order to become a “user”
  • a user can login in order to be allowed additional functionality once authenticated...
  • a user can logout if desired (typically for security purposes)
  • a user can delete his or her account (if it's no longer wanted)
• a user can create poems line by line, storing them in MongoDB
  • a user can have full “C.R.U.D.” functionality with poems
• a user can comment and make notations on poems, storing them in MongoDB
• rhyme-schemes display to the right of lines
  • rhyming-dictionary API integration as a supplementary sidebar-tool
  • as a line is completed sideboxes are dynamically created on unfinished lower lines matching the formal scheme to integrate rhyming dictionary functionality inline...
• poetic forms have guiding labels and placeholders, including default scansion notations above each line for traditional metric prosody structures

“nice to have” (eventually) but nonessential or low priority BONUS features:

• dynamically highlight duplicate words to flag potentially redundant repetition, but this feature can be toggled
• poems can be conveniently shared on various social media
• “favorite” particular poetic forms or rhyme-schemes so they can be more easily recalled for repeated use
  • user favorited forms, schemes, or poems can be retrieved from MongoDB to dynamically populate a page view
• “favorite” poems
• social poem “ratings” system (i.e. upvotes / downvotes ranked sortings)
• full Evernote API integration to export/save poems
• full export to email functionality

major Stretch-Goals for potential long-term augmentation and future enhancement:

• any reader can search for public poems
  • each search will return (display) a simultaneous display of related poems and forms dynamically matching the query
• some sort of integrated spelling and/or grammar check beyond mere browser capabilities — or perhaps an API powered integrated dynamic dictionary-information box?
• versioning and history of poems to revert to previous versions as well as play through the evolution and development of a poem!
• scansion notations above each line can be toggled to customize them and dragged to appear precisely over syllables on a slider
• some sort of usefully convenient graphical display(s) of finished poems’ metrical prosody structure
• some sort of usefully convenient graphical display(s) of various forms and styles of poems archived
• YouTube Channel video integrations of slam-poetry performances?
• speech-to-text functionality in addition to as accessible as possible a user-experience for the visually impaired (screen-reader optimized):sunglasses:
