Love it!

It's an SkSL Blender - I can DM or email you an example if you'd like.

Ahh - we’re using Skia as our renderer which specifically supports this workflow.

Sounds like a fun one to solve! 😅

If I’m remembering correctly it was pretty simple, the blend mode got the luminance of the background and then gave us a contrasting light or dark output - the result was a readable text colour for any random background colour.

We hit this a couple of years back and had to ‘invent’ a custom blend mode, mad that it isn’t standard.

I use the OED app, it works offline and has a built in thesaurus, and does American English as well via an extra download. It has favourites too which I use constantly. I used to use Dictionary.com - that’s also pretty good but quite noisy these days. I never got on with Merriam-Webster.

It's an interesting challenge working out how to represent some of the features like Random, at the moment the bars here represent some sample random numbers, which is useful when using the graph like this to 'bias' the Random numbers (mostly low, with a few very high random numbers).

Oh man, those videos were butchered 😅

This one shows the underlying Pre-Comp that's powering it, just a Noise Shader and some blurred text.
