The Poem as Value
summary
A LightTable‑inspired web app called Poetroid that curates public‑domain poems as structured data is demonstrated with a working browser demo: poems stored in EDN "Zen" format, tokenized with word frequencies and served from Elasticsearch full‑text + custom analyzers, annotations captured as EDN expressions and replayed with a record‑and‑play annotations UI built on Om/Ohm reactive UI. Backend pieces include Python linguistics APIs, Meteor/Node real‑time plumbing, and a Datomic (deTomic) sync still in progress; sharing generates short URLs and interactive, step‑by‑step highlights.
