##Description:
Lorem ipsum generator for "romantic" speak. I used Mechanize in order to scrape words from around 100 different love poems through a custom rake task.

##Challenges:

• Utilizing Mechanize to scrape words from each love poem in a streamlined manner. I resolved this using an until loop that would click on the link for a love poem, scrape the words, return back to the main page, and repeat the process for the next poem.
• Making sure capitalization of ipsum was correct, such as correctly capitalizing words after a period, leaving words "I" and "I'm"/"I've" etc. capitalized
  • see "Possible Enhancements" for further improvements on grammar
• Coordinating all front-end pieces (it was a great learning experience!)

##Possible Enhancements (in the works):

• Have user be able to select # paragraphs
• Improve ipsum algorithm so generated ipsum is more grammatically correct
  • mark each word with part of speech (n, vb, adj, etc.) using Engtagger and place restrictions on how words are arranged
• Create a gem and upload onto Rubygems.org
• Integrate Twilio API to be able to send lorem ipsums as text messages (??)
