Predictive text inspired tool (work in progress)

Predictive text inspired tool (work in progress)

Eventually I want to add this to some type of proper oracle, with extras like history window, and a seed window for seeding text. For now the tool only has the writing window.

As text is entered entered on the main window, the tool picks the last word written and displays the five words that came before the current word and five that came after (that's the first line). The rest of the display is for any such instances where the last word was part of some other word's context. The context words are not shown in any particular order, so they might not make sense as a sentence.

I've been using predictive text apps to delegate some of the decision making in the creative writing parts of solo gaming to something outside me. Just having suggested words out there already picks a direction for me, so I've found that satisfying. Now I have it available on my browser if I want. :)

With this one, so far, I've also noticed that the word display can act as a sort of memory device as well. When I type in the name of a location or NPC, things spatially related to those names in the text show up, which jogs memory and is also very suggestive.

You can play around with it here:
