Show HN: Silent Poems - Visual expression of unspoken thoughts
An interactive digital art project that turns typed text into
flowing, abstract animated symbols. The symbols connect fluidly,
much like handwriting, but in an entirely abstract way. Each letter
has its own design, and then each instance of the letter has a
different seed such that you have slight differences - the same as
with handwriting.

| Very cute website, I really like how every glyph looks, some more
