Semblance is a web based game, where you see an image, and have to describe it in words.

Stack

• Golang to create the server, run the game, use external APIs and for HTML templating
• Random Image API to fetch a random image via a http request
• Azure Cognitive Services' Computer Vision API to generate tags for each image
• For the UI, I used Webflow, much improvement is needed there though 😂
