Inspiration
When you shop for items you use your friend's recommendations. Why can't you read news the same way?
What it does
The application loads a random news article, prompts you for a picture, uses Microsoft Emotion API to read your emotions, ranks happiness against a scale and finally use Microsoft Graph API to email it to your friends
How We built it
We build a webpage using Flask, Python and Javascript
Challenges We ran into
Using the different API's, using Microsoft's OAuthorization and hosting images on Github (FTP server didn't work). We also ran into the issue of only being able to host it locally due to hard-coding a path.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
First time using API's to read emotions and send emails.
What We learned
Python and API's
What's next for NewsFed
We'd like to incorporate video to read your emotion as you read instead of waiting till the end.
