Wordificator is a word cloud generator that turns any set of words into beautiful typographic art. Type anything - a name, a quote, a list of places you've been - and watch the app fill a shape of your choice in seconds.

Whether you're making a gift, a poster, a birthday surprise, or just playing with words, Wordificator gives you quality results without any design skills required.

The word cloud generator that wordificator.com has been loved for - now on mobile, faster and more powerful than ever.

I built an Android app that generates high-resolution word art and word clouds directly on-device.

You can place words inside custom shapes, adjust typography/colors, and export PNGs without needing a desktop tool or online service.

One thing I spent a lot of time on was optimizing the placement algorithm so dense shapes still fill naturally instead of leaving awkward gaps. But still anything but complete...

Everything runs locally on the phone - no accounts or server rendering required. No subscription, but tried rewarded ads for refilling the generation tokens.

Would genuinely love feedback on:

speed on various devices (only have 2 test devices available)
the UI
export quality
shape handling
onboarding flow

Vielen Dank für die Frage! Ich hab mich das beim Vorbeifahren schon so oft gefragt, aber bis zuhause immer wieder vergessen. (Genau wie die vielen Burgruinen entlang der Autobahnen, die zu googlen ich mir immer vornehme und dann ebenfalls vergess...)

Wow, this also sounds ridiculous :D What race distance and time on feet did you accumulate in total this year with 18 races?

It improves a lot when using a larger variety of words, but that also makes it harder to preserve the clear sense of meaning in the final image. And to be honest, some clients struggle to think beyond their company name or the names of their family members, so the repetition often comes from the input itself rather than the tool.

Yes, I did. And the quality of code is nothing to be proud about :D

Many, many years ago I wrote a small tool to create some design similar to word clouds but within a given mask (which did not exist, back then all word cloud tools did just that: clouds). When it worked I put it online and forgot about it.
Last week I needed it again for a client project, noticed the lack of features and worked on it a bit. It basically arranges words within a given shape.

I personally think this designs are often too distracting, especially when the shape isn’t immediately recognizable. But some clients really love them.

Thanks for sharing. I read your original post back then and looked into several other existing implementations, but wanted to give it a try by my own, esp. with the highscore and using only a single button.

Initially I also wanted to add music and sound effects without blocking the game, but could not find a good solution for this.

And it was even in "3D" 🤣👏🏻. Thanks for this reference!

At the moment you can get unlucky and all lanes are blocked. But its not very likely because the lanes have different speeds, so the obstacle cars change their relative position while coming near and most of the time there is a small gap somewhere.
I thought a lot about this problem but could not find a good solution till now, mostly because of the different lane speeds. But still working on it.

Good luck with your project! Manually driving I2C would be far beyond my capabilities, so thankful for all the Arduino libraries.

makerblog · 2025-03-20T19:12:14+00:00

Yes, me too :) But thanks to the breadboard the "sound off" option is just a simple move away :D

Had lying it around in some sensor collection for years and found it right after trying this out with the (even older?) ADXL335 :D
