Imitation of Shashi Tharoor's distinctive oratory — sesquipedalian vocabulary, serpentine sentences, literary allusions, Oxonian wit, arcane word choices, rhetorical flourish, em-dash asides, and the unwavering commitment to never use a short word when a magnificently polysyllabic one will do.
English Style Converter
A SvelteKit web app that converts English text into various styles and tones using an LLM.
Quick Start (Docker)
# Option 1: Use default model (llama3)
docker compose up
# Option 2: Choose a different model
OLLAMA_MODEL=gemma2 docker compose up
- App: http://localhost:3000
- Ollama API: http://localhost:11434
First startup pulls the model from Ollama, which may take a few minutes depending on model size and your connection. Subsequent starts are instant (model is cached in a Docker volume).
To change the model later, edit .env.docker and run:
docker compose down
docker compose up --build
Local Development (without Docker)
Prerequisites: Ollama running locally with a model pulled.
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Copy env config (defaults to Ollama at localhost:11434)
cp .env.example .env
# Start dev server
npm run dev
Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |

ollama |
API key (use ollama for local Ollama) |
OPENAI_MODEL |

For Docker, set OLLAMA_MODEL in .env.docker — it controls both the model Ollama pulls and the model the app requests.
