Haiku Validator (opens in new tab)

You can check the override list at https://haikuvalidator.com/overrides and if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know any words that are broken.

This is my first time making a web app. Hoping that someone finds it fun / useful.

Aside from the fact that "syllables" is not exactly the unit being counted in haiku, there are also considerations of theme, tone, and a sort of "open-ended-ness" – among other considerations.

This article served as my introduction to the actual complexities of haiku: https://forgottenpoets.substack.com/p/haiku-thursdays-one-pl...

It's true; look it up.

Blessed vs “bless-ed” for example

Camera can be said cam-ra or cam-er-a for example.

I need one to test this app

Love the internet!

Doesn't matter in the context of making a fun web app though, cool idea!

Crunchy, like its fried contents

I ate the chip bag

But Validator works on sane languages too:

  mieleeni muistuu
  tässä yhteydessä eräs tapaus
  joka tapahtui

Hope that it validates

and smile when it does.

Edit: Little tools like this are nice. It's simple, it works, and it's just one of those little toys that people can use to have simple fun.
