Iā€™d love to give this a shot!

chris-greening commented 3 years ago

Go for it!! Get creative, I'd love to see what you come up with :~] I made the objects much more flexible with the v1.0.0 release so I'd love to see some experiments with them.

They can now be instantiated with HTML, JSON, BeautifulSoup, URL, etc. and will determine the best way to parse based on what was passed in šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ I'll make a blog post with more details sometimes soon but ya, tldr go nuts!

tarob0ba commented 3 years ago

Sorry for the inactivity. Iā€™m working on something now!

chris-greening commented 3 years ago

Totally no worries!!! Take as long as you need

tarob0ba commented 3 years ago

Almost ready... šŸ˜„

I was finally able to think of a good / comedic concept. I'm whipping up a PoC now

Sorry for the long delay. Wasn't able to bypass the Instagram login in order to actually scrape the latest comments from your posts and perform sentiment analysis on them, and I don't feel like signing my life away to Facebook. I'll try a bit harder or to fix issues that I can.

chris-greening commented 3 years ago

Interesting that you mention sentiment analysis on comments, I literally just got an email from someone this morning about doing that exact thing lol, I'll see about writing a blog post on the topic. Totally no worries about delay though lol do what you can when you can, I appreciate any help you can provide!
