Show HN: Pictures That Rhyme

6 points by akaalias 15 years ago · 5 comments · 1 min read


A small weekend project built for fun:

You start with a picture and post pics that visually rhyme. Based on whatever you see fit. Of course, you can invite friends, too! Over time a stream of association emerges, the "verse"

The frontpage is at http://picrhyme.com/ and a good example of what happens can be found here: http://picrhyme.com/images/180/history (How to get from Helvetica to Asparagus via Woodstock!)

At least for me it triggers some really ticklish place in my brain, adding those picture rhymes. Maybe you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Thank you for any feedback and with best wishes.

And this one I like a lot, too: From fennec to MC Escher :) http://picrhyme.com/images/205/history

On a sidenote: I found that a lot of my verses end up with MC Escher.

This is beautiful! Make it easier for people to start a rhyme by adding image search using some APIs like Flickr, Instagram and others.

    Totally, makes good sense. What other APIs would you recommend?

    • revorad 15 years ago

      All the photo sharing apps out there I guess. Twitter might also be a good start as you get photos from pretty much all apps there. I'm not sure if they have APIs but some other popular apps are yfrog, lockerz, picplz, dailybooth, hipstamatic, posterous, tumblr.

      Even starting with one would be great :-)
