My current side project: I am working on an app to go through my social media accounts, pull down the text of every URL I have ever posted (2,000+), and do natural language processing on the content of each URL retrieved.
Reasons I am doing this:
- I wanted to brush up on my Python and get acquainted with the request and BeautifulSoup modules
- I wanted to use Sqlite for a project and try out some new database design ideas in a non-production environment (immutable rows and JSONifying all data that's not indexed, for example)
- I wanted to get familiar with natural language processing in Python (NTLK module).
Been working on it on and off over the last month or so, and am trying to make some sort of measurable progress each evening. When completed, I'll put the code up on GitHub along with any interesting results I obtained.
