Inspiration
It's my friend's birthday coming up. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, I didn't want to get him a physical gift, but I still wanted to make a personalized gift. So, I decided to make this Python program that shows statistics about our past messaging history!
What it does
This is a Python program that outputs an HTML file with statistics of messaging history from either Facebook Messenger or Telegram.
How I built it
Python! I used Plotly for the charts.
Challenges I ran into
Many :(
- Parsing messages. Facebook Messenger exports its chat history in a very weird way... fixing this issue took a long time.
- Getting charts to work. Took a couple of hours.
- Couldn't get to appending charts to output HTML file in time.
- Many more.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm really close to finishing this!
What I learned
Python data analysis.
What's next for chat_stat
Need to properly append to output HTML file.
