This document discusses Lorem Whitman, a tool that generates placeholder text by remixing lines from Walt Whitman poems. It provides lorem-whitman gems and a lorem-whitman-website that serves text via a web page and JSON API. The website is built with a Sinatra API served through a Middleman app for pages, and is hosted on Heroku. It uses various gems and CSS techniques like responsive images and viewport units.
