Word cloud application with configurable shapes, colours & fonts

Budget 418$ per month

Opened

Description: I need a web based application to create word clouds - this site is obviously the gold standard:

https://wordart.com/create - however we do not need ALL the features here, or even an especially nice GUI (although a basic GUI would be a bonus) just an application that can be fed criteria (shape template - word list - other settings) via an API, and display an image. This is a BACKEND ONLY project.

I have tried to do this myself with javascript libraries, d3.js etc, but have not been successful. I have used a JAVA "WordCram" application but this is slow and I have not been able to port it to a web application. I mention this all so that you may have some good starting points, hopefully!

We have tried with a Python library but this does not allow multiple fonts within the same image, or multiple angles of words. We will however give access to the current unfinished and most likely failed project to the successful applicant.

Features needed and non negotiable:

Fit words to custom shape
Choose colours, fonts, word angle(s) - MULTIPLE FONTS, COLOURS AND ANGLES ALLOWED PER SHAPE
Maximum word size and, possibly, word density / frequency configurators although these may not be needed depending on the quality of the default output
Skills:
application programming interface (API),back end developer,customization,d3 js,graphical user interface (GUI),Java programming language,JavaScript programming language,Python programming language,web application
