Color Word Analyzer

This is web app and CLI for analyzing color words in a text. Watch it in action at http://colors.jonreeve.com. Still highly experimental, and not currently ready for public use.

Technical details

This program is written in Haskell, using

• Scotty (a web framework)
• Lucid (an HTML DSL)
• Clay (a CSS DSL)
• PlotlyHS, a Haskell interface to the Plotly data visualization library.
  • I'm actually using my own fork of PlotlyHS, which adds a couple of new features.

The web interface is the main way of using this program, but it can also be used via CLI or just by using it as a Haskell library.
