Inspiration
We had access to 1.7 Billion reddit comments, so we thought this could be interesting.
What it does
Shows the usage of a search term over 8 years of reddit comments.
How we built it
Simple rails app, then lots of javascript to draw the graphs and do the elastic search queries. Elastic search
Challenges we ran into
Hosting the data, ended up having to have it locally.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
How long Hugo managed to stay awake.
What we learned
AWS Elastic Search, some learnt more Javascript.
What's next for RedditTrends
It will sit on GitHub untouched and alone. - Our amazon money hasn't come through, we won't spend our own £££££ to host the terrabyte of data. We could implement new graphs and other fancy things quite easily if we did keep working on it.
