Description

Summary

Input a load of text, generate a word cloud which highlights the most used words (filtering out common words like 'the', 'and', 'it' etc.).

The basic output type could be a ranked list and the present type could be an image or some other HTML-based display.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing 'Text' operations in the codebase to understand how operations are structured. Implement a new operation 'Word Cloud' that takes input text, removes stop words, counts word frequencies, and generates a word cloud image using a library such as d3 cloud or a canvas based approach. Output both a ranked word list and the visual word cloud.
