Meet your new muse. Destroy writer's block forever. Escape the beaten path and discover what you *didn't know* you wanted to say. Bypass your ego and regain your creative spark - When experiencing writer's block our own minds can be our worst enemy. - We get caught in the mud, hung up, and mope around in endless ruts, seemingly cursed by an infinite loop of inaction. - But sometimes we've just got to hit refresh, shuffle the deck, ruffle some feathers, evacuate our comfort zones, and sidestep our rituals and habits. - When songwriters get stuck -- they switch to a different instrument! - WordPalette is a different instrument. Four sliding lanes of intelligently scrambled text - Short poetic phrases are intuitively grouped and stair-cased across the four slider lanes - Each lane slides in both directions independently - The phrases are loaded from Palettes (your collected text sources) - In landscape mode on the *iPad* there are FIVE sliding lanes! SIX on the iPad Pro Quickly switch between keyboards - Simply tap the keyboard button, or swipe left to quickly switch between the slider lanes and the default iOS keyboard - You're not just switching between keyboards but between creative states - Many workflows are possible : Rapid-fire between the keyboards, leveraging the "found" inspiration of the sliders with your own creative reactions. Use the sliders to amass a collection of words that resonate with you, then switch to the default keyboard and weave them together. For cut-up method purists: use *only* the word sliders, hunting through the lanes for the perfect compliments and juxtapositions. Import your favorite text sources and convert them into Palettes. - Palettes are converted sources of text used to populate the word sliders. - Instantly paste copied text via the Add (+) button on the Palettes page, and convert. - You can also import plain .txt files from iCloud Drive and other popular cloud services - Alternatively, enable our Share extension to send text from other apps to be converted into Palettes. Mix and match your Palettes - Activate and deactivate your collected Palettes to control what appears in the word sliders. - The word slider keyboard will only pull phrases from currently activated Palettes. - Get creative with your combinations! (i.e., text from an article on underwater birth, and an article on the predatory habits of sharks) Contact - http://wordpalette.io - dev@wordpalette.io - @wordpalettes
