Yeah, kind of lame that they couldn't be bothered to have a version with a normal text box for mobile rather than their fancy eat-all-of-the-key-events-even-control-characters desktop version.
Still the thing is cool, just the explicit desktop-only attitude is grating when a mobile-capable one would actually be easier.

This is awesome! Just curious, do they find images according to instagram tags like #A #B ... within #36daysoftype? Or do they use some kind of visual recognition method to retrieve pictures in real-time?

Curious how they created the dataset from Instagram. Does it use the hashtag search API or does Instagram does image analysis and provides results via an API?
"OMG, they have Mike! Or maybe they want milk... No, it's definitely about Mike."
