I like to use this to make poems. I take four random book titles and parse then into this app and the results are mostly fantastic.

I love the idea of the extension but everytime I try to login it wont let me.

Does it what it says on the tin! There are a few minor bugs with the interface (logging in and recognising that you are logged in etc) which I'm sure the team are working on. Excited to see the future iterations of the app. Brilliant idea :)
