   I see a lot of comments here asking about practical motivations for this feature. One I'll share is that in a gem I help maintain, we benchmark git branches of the gem against `main`, and we also benchmark against multiple other gems t

    Hi! You're right that rhyme detection can be improved, and rhyme scheme currently only considers words at the end of each line. I'd love to hear how you'd expect/want an internal rhyme feature to work. What would it look

    Thanks for the feedback! I would love to eventually support multi-stanza forms like villanelles and sestinas but that requires some more thought. Are there other forms or features you'd use?

    Thanks for the kind words! Limericks are a little tricky to nail down a "specification" for so I'm glad what I came up with worked well for you. <3

    I guess it depends on what you consider a default header. (I’m not too familiar with standards here; there may be some IETF definition you’re referring to?) It turns out if you have enough control over your server you can make it do a lot o

    Thank you! My hope was to make it accessible to non-technical readers while still being fun for people who are familiar with HTTP innards.
