What Is This Sorcery?
Thanks to the beautiful and transparent nature of the Steem Blockchain, anyone (even me!) is able to extract content from the blockchain.
So in short, the application discovers new content as it is published, cleans up the text by removing any rubbish that isn't a word, and then throughly analyzes each and every instance to determine the word frequency. The server then sends this data to your browser, to be rendered in the form of a word cloud. After the cloud is generated, it constantly compares changes in word frequencies, and updates your browser to give you some playful word visualizations.
And there you have it, instantly gratifying, steem-powered word play.
