Really cool tool! I could see this being useful for quickly coming up with test story titles for HN.

I agree, this could save a lot of time. Have you considered adding more categories, such as science or politics?
johnsmith 5 months ago next
That's a great idea! I'll definitely add more categories in the future updates.

How does this tool generate the titles? Is it using any NLP techniques?
johnsmith 5 months ago next
It's using a combination of templates and random words. There's no NLP involved at the moment, but I might add some language models in the future.

Do you have any plans to open source the code? I'd love to contribute.

Absolutely! The code will be available on GitHub soon. Stay tuned.

This is interesting, but I wonder if the titles will sound repetitive after a while.
johnsmith 5 months ago next
That's a valid concern. I'm working on adding more templates and words to make the titles more diverse.

This reminds me of the headline generators for BuzzFeed-style clickbait articles. Is that the inspiration?
johnsmith 5 months ago next
Yes, I guess you could say that. I wanted to create something similar that produces meaningful titles instead of clickbait.

How well does this tool perform on titles related to AI and machine learning?
johnsmith 5 months ago next
I've tested it on a few AI/ML titles, and it seems to do pretty well. However, I might need to add more domain-specific words to improve the quality.
