Show HN: Brainly. App I hacked while you watched the Facebook IPO

5 points by rmATinnovafy ↗ HN
This is a little tool I made for myself. Had been meaning to write it for a while, but never had the chance.<p>Decided to do it while I followed the Facebook IPO. It was way more fun than seeing people make millions...<p>About it:<p>PHP Bootstrap<p>It is quite slow, because it goes over a 150,000+ word dictionary three times before the html is generated.<p>But, in my defense, I just run it on my XAMPP install and is pretty snappy.<p>So hey, check it out. I have my flame suit on already.

Its not a bug, but a feature.

I promise!

serious

I know it happens. Due the way I turned the dictionary into an array.

Its a 150,000+ long string of words. Plan to run a regex to fix it. Some day.

I'm curious what you mean by this. Why would you have to scan a dictionary more than once?
