Ballad Salad - https://balladsalad.com

Ballad Salad is a web-application that allows users to create text posts (similar to websites such as Twitter). However, instead of forcing a character or word limit, Ballad Salad has unique post requirements. All posts must fit into a selected Rhyme Scheme and Meter.

Currently Available Meters

• Petrarchan Sonnets
• Shakesperean Sonnets
• Spenserean Sonnets
• Tetrameter Ballads
• Heroic Couplets
• Haiku
• Limericks (Under Construction)

App Specifications

The app is built using Node.js and MongoDB on a Debian server.

Rhymes are reviewed using the Datamuse API (https://www.datamuse.com/api/)

TODO

• add more meters
• add meter descriptions
• add meter variations for specific poem types (e.g. Limericks)
