Funny you mention this: I was trying to find Markov tweeters recently, but Google only turned up a handful of accounts. I know I've seen more - any others you can think of?
Some suggestions:
- Allow exporting to PDF or printing. I would want to be able to print this as a full-page poster with nice resolution
- Allow user-configurable colors
Fun to try with code (mildly). Here's the geekiest I could do that's worth sharing :-) http://i.imgur.com/IBaLCn4.png - based on the first stanza from the following:
Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Lisper got to sit and wonder, (Y (Y Y))?
Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land;
Lisper got to tell himself he understand.

Yep! I really wanted this, but it's a bit more work. HTML5 canvas has a `measureText` method but it only returns width, so there's a few cases where the text will escape the box. The logic is really simple for now, but I'll hope to improve it in future.
Very cool. I'd suggest adding a size feature. Adding something like a Holstee Manifesto would get pretty crowded otherwise:
This is your life.
Do what you want and do it often.
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't like your job, quit.
If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over-analysing, life is simple.
All emotions are beautiful.
When you eat, appreciate every last bite.
Life is simple.
Open your heart, mind and arms to new things and people, we are united in our differences.
Ask the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them.
Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once, seize them.
Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating.
Life is short, live your dream and wear your passion.
Yes, this seems like a great way to monetize it. In the meantime, what's the best way to get something like this actually printed as a poster (relatively cheaply)?
This is an excellent idea and great execution. Would love to see algorithmic color palates built in - I've used https://github.com/c0bra/color-scheme-js in the past and found it a pleasure to work with.
This is awesome - this will definitely helps spread great words with nice design :)
Would love to have PDF download as well, and probably more font pairing (like 3 fonts, third font use !!), but in any case, this is already quite awesome!
