• Frequency analysis
• Sentiment, emotion, and profanity analysis
• Named entity extraction

Getting Started

Banter.ly is built on top of Dash, which provides a fantastic python environment for creating dashboards

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7.7
• MongoDB running locally or one their free hosts

Running the App

# install poetry
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

# clone this repo and go into it
git clone https://github.com/sahaab-io/banter.ly.git && cd banter.ly

# create and activate the virtualenv + install dependencies
poetry install

# create a .env file with your configuration (you can just rename the example to get started locally)
cp .env.example .env

# run the one-time setup script and download Spacy data
poetry run python setup.py && poetry run python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

# start the application
poetry run python index.py

If you don't wish to use Poetry as your package manager, a requirements.txt file without the dev dependencies is also included, and you can just run the last two commands without prefixing them with poetry run
