WeabooDatLife

Inspiration

I wanted to talk with my waifu when we weren't together

What it does

Go to the flask web site and enter your phone number, anime, and character you want to talk to. The server then starts a text conversation with you.

How I built it

I scraped anime transcripts from online and use them to generate markov chains for individual characters. I also created smtp and imap servers to communicate by email to text. Since I am sending the texts through mail, the messages are actually secured over ssl (because we wouldn't want your messages with your side waifu to be leaked)

Challenges I ran into

I had a tremendous amount of trouble setting up the smtp and imap connections

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This was my first time scraping data, setting up email servers, and creating a pseudo random text generator with Markov chains so I learned a lot.

What I learned

I learned that Holo doesn't like texting back(Jk I fixed that). I learned a lot about sms to email communication and will probably use that knowledge in future projects.

What's next for WeabooDatLife

I ran out of time so the web app is very primitive. I will definitely make that easier to use. I also would make email responses threaded, b/c right now, I am not sure how well the app will handle multiple users
