I’ve been working on this in my evenings for a few weeks. It’s basically a rewrite of the reddit user profile analyser snoopsnoo.com which has been down for a few years. Mine is called [https://snoosnoop.com](https://snoosnoop.com/) as a nod to the original.
What made me bother? I actually used to use this site years ago and was kinda disappointed that it wasn’t around anymore. You see, I went to prison in the summer of 2017 and just came out 6 months ago (drugs offence). I needed a project to get to grips with so that I could learn and try to focus my time. I learnt python early on in my sentence through books, often writing functions on pen and paper. I had occasional illicit internet access but once I’d written 4 basic web apps, I figured that I’d gone as far as I could with my resources and the next step would have to be progressing on the outside. So I allowed a whole lot of rust to grow on my new python skills until I was finally released.
This is actually the third app I’ve written in the past 6 months. The other notable one being a job search website for a charity I volunteer for. It builds a daily snapshot of jobs being advertised by employers who have a history of employing people with past criminal convictions. So the charity’s employees can do single location based searches of multiple employers at once… a massive timesaver for them.
Anyway, back to this app. It accesses the Reddit API and then uses natural language processing to give a synopsis of the user. It uses a couple of javascript charting libraries to produce activity visualisations. There are a couple of other sites around that do something similar but they generally don’t work with ad blockers, so my goal was to produce something that worked, was efficient (code and stack wise), user friendly and didn’t care about ad blockers. It has no analytics, tracking or ads. I’m not looking to make anything out of this, it’s purely a learning project.
Hope you like it and someone gets some use out of it!
