Information-Visualization

Idea:

• Connect to reddit account to get all followed subreddits using API
• Calculate the recommended subreddits based on amount of links from followed subreddits
• Connect topic dataset to list of subreddits
• Colorcode the recommended subreddits based on topic
• Allow the user to connect an additional reddit account to create another bubble
• Merge the two bubbles to show overlapping subreddits of interest between the two users

Extra:

• Calculate average sentiment of subreddits based on all links from followed subreddits
• Use 3d view to show sentiment?
