I’ve been building a few SaaS products over the last couple of years, and in between larger features I sometimes build small tools to reset my brain. This started as one of those.
It’s called WordBulb:

At first, it was just a simple word cloud generator. But while building it, I kept thinking: why are most word clouds basically just decorative images?
They look interesting, but they’re not useful.
So I decided to make it interactive and embeddable — where every word can have its own target link.
What it does
Add your own words
Assign a custom URL to each word [the clicked word can be passed as query parameter]
Generate an interactive SVG word cloud
Embed it directly into your site
Each word is clickable.
You can use it as:
A visual table of contents
A tag cloud alternative
A creative way to surface affiliate links
A keyword visualization block inside a blog post
Instead of a boring list of links, you get something more dynamic and visually scannable.
Why I built it
I work a lot with SEO-heavy products and content-driven sites. I’ve always liked the idea of visual navigation — not just menus and bullet lists.
Tag clouds used to be popular, but most implementations are static and uninspiring.
I wanted:
Full control over words
Manual link mapping
Clean SVG output
Something lightweight that doesn’t depend on external libraries
It also fits into a broader idea I’ve been exploring around visual startup directories and keyword-based navigation systems.
