Yep, that would for sure be more serious, but I liked the juxtaposition between a website about eloquent language and the clumsy, middle-school-like description of "fancy words".
Thanks for the feedback, I think you are right. Having a single word be lowercase just felt ... less aesthetic, but you have a point as that is how it will be properly used.
Infinite content-swiping sites are in fashion, I suppose, so why not at least learn beautiful English words while aimlessly tapping or clicking your screen.
Words that I found especially appealing are marked as legendary (you will know what I mean when you see them).
The Stack is Svelte with Tailwind, Directus for managing the words and Umami for a bit of insight into the traffic and there is actually a limited number of words, since I manually collected them.
No AI was involved in the creation of this website, the words or descriptions.
So use your fugacious chance, until my server gets hugged to death :)
I did the same thing to a numpad phone (also old) about 2 months ago. I squeezed a pi zero-w into the chassis and wrote some software to bind each key from 0-9 to a song and then used the Pi's Bluetooth module to play the sound on a speaker across the room. I also have a button that reads out the current time and it runs a website to upload new songs and change the bindings. It was a really fun project and I am surprised someone had the same idea!
And I am really happy that someone liked it :)
