Fridge Poetry

Taking kitsch from the kitchen

try it — Fridge Poetry →

I didn’t have much time to work on a project, so I made something VERY quickly: A fridge poetry app.

I created a list of words with a count of how many of that word should be created, then rendered each of the words in a React-Flow graph.

The words are rendered in alphabetical order in columns of a set size to start, and then the user can drag them around to create their own poetry.

The words were vaguely inspired by the nature theme of haikus in Ghost of Tsushima, which is the main reason I didn’t have time to work on a project.

If you’d like to try it out, the app can be found here and the code can be found here.

Wrapping Up

I didn’t ONLY play Ghost of Tsushima, I did some research on effects using scrolling UVs and learned quite a bit about Three.js and its react wrapper, react-three-fiber. I’m excited to use this knowledge in a future project… but for now, I’m going to go back to playing Ghost of Tsushima.

You can try the reimagined version here → — drag mono word-magnets across three themes and copy a link to any poem you compose.
