Hi HN! This was inspired by the top comment from this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11294026

> It would be interesting to see the major parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives) colored. Instead this is a coloring of fairly random words. A bunch of short words are grey, but they don't belong to any particular part of speech. They include some articles, prepositions, conjunctions and a few verbs...

Could you please add a legend to indicate what the colors mean?

Sorry for the slow response, I've implemented this already.

It would be nice if you put the color of the words in a separate key, rather than in the example box.

Actually put all the instructions outside of the example box. First pass I assumed everything in the box was just sample so I dived straight into typing and then didn't get any colours. Then I had to reload to find out I had to tab out.
