The Unique Sentence site is on hiatus.
I used to maintain this site to give me practice learning new web frameworks. However, at the moment I'm between frameworks and haven't updated it in ages, and don't have time to maintain the old code properly and securely as my web server pushes on to PHP 7 and beyond.
However, I think the collection of unique sentences was too valuable(!) to lose, so here is a simple one-page listing of all the sentences that were ever submitted. I'm afraid you can't submit new sentences at the moment.
