Welcome to JanusNode!
JanusNode is an automated text-generator and text-morpher. It can create original texts using a rule-based system or can morph your texts using Markov chaining and various other techniques. It has been described (albeit generously) as 'Photoshop for text'.
JanusNode is the direct descendent of an old program called McPoet that I started writing in the mid-80s. Although I do not intend to definitively cease work on JanusNode in my lifetime, the program had not been substantially updated since about 2004.
JanusNode is on Twitter. Just like all the cool kids.
Download Mac version (v2.14 v.2 Universal, 9.6 Mb .dmg file, released January 8, 2012. This version did not change the program itself, but updated and improved some of the associated resources that are distributed with it). NOTE: JanusNode will not run from the virtual disk. To run it please drag the folder onto your hard disk.
Download Windows version (v2.11, 5.1 Mb zip file, released January 14, 2010.)
Download Edde Addad's TextDNA Set (49 Kb., released here on November 6, 2010; included in current releases of the program), including 'Strachey Love Letters Classic' (based on Christopher Strachey's 1952 program, the world's first computerized poetry program), 'Strachey Love Letters Modern' (a modern update of Strachey's program), and 'Shakespeare Template' (a Shakespearean generator). Addad's site http://www.eddeaddad.net includes many poetry-generation resources and musings, including links to the on-line poetry generators, eGnoetry and (Addad's own) ePoGees. Addad also has written a nice overview of currently available poetry-generation programs here.
Why let other people get all the glory? Feel free to send your JanusNode resources (especially TextDNA files) and good JanusNode output. I will post any good stuff on this site.
JanusNodes are free but tips are always welcome!
