Nice work. I skimmed too quick and thought your app was going to provide me with 25 headlines when I paste a youtube link. Talk about a challenge.

You've got a really neat interface, I like it. I also read on Quora about upworthy's headline generation process, it's fascinating.

That's definitely something I'm interested in doing.

The way I see it is, you'd provide all the actors (people, places, objects), actions, and it would generate a maybe 4 or 5 to get you started by mixing in different styles of headline, from spoiler-style right through to linkbait. You can then carry on, depending on the style of your website.

There's better people than me out there to attempt that kind of stuff, but I'd enjoy taking a stab at it myself.
