RedditRecs

This is my first public project since (seriously) learning to code 2 months ago! I had a bunch of project ideas, but I went with this first because: 1. I personally struggled when I was first researching portable monitors - Google sucks now with all the bullshit SEO listicles - I ended up wasting money on a bad one on my first buy - I do research on Reddit sometimes but it is tedious 2. I noticed others struggling too - People asking for recommendations on Reddit - Growing trend of adding "reddit" to Google search results - I've been using portable monitors as a digital nomad for >2 years 3. I have first-hand experience on what is confusing and what matters when choosing one - I am somewhat up to date with the digital nomad niche and community - My hunch is that the portable monitor market will grow as remote work becomes more widespread 4. I had a relatively good idea of how I could put it together - From playing with LLMs, I already knew how to use it for cheap yet accurate sentiment analysis and data extraction - A quick check confirmed that Reddit has an API for getting post and comments data, so I knew I didn't have to deal with scraping which can get complex TLDR: I had a hunch that there'll be demand, that it'll be simple enough for a first project, and that I have an advantage being a user myself Improvements that I am working on: - Detect and filter users that may be affiliated with or incentivized to promote certain products - Fix some instances where newly posted comments aren't captured - Extract key specs (e.g. screen size) for easier narrowing down - System for visitors to flag inaccurate data extraction / classification Let me know what you think!
