Hyperberry,

You are on point with that comment! Actually all of the tech is my code (outside of scraping the image and a few packages via npm). To be honest, I worked pretty hard on some of the NLP for sentence parsing. With that said however, I don't think I am in that high of demand as a developer (yet).

In terms of fair use... I am scared shitless. Right now I am not overly worried because I am not a huge site. The way the algorithm is set up is to take 15% or 3 sentences at max, whichever is less. This is something I will have to approach extremely carefully as I move forward.

In terms of this project's future: I doubt it will get acquired. But I really really hope it will help me get a job once I add it to my portfolio. (I am about to graduate in 1 year!).

Thanks for your reply!

do you plan on making this an app?
Personally my experience is really on the web side of things. I am however looking at the option of doing an HTML5 wrapper around it so it can be published as an application in the stores. Should be an interesting path!
I looked at corona and phonegap. both seem like quick ways to get to an app quickly.
