Sentiment Analyzer

Hey there, friend! This is the Sentiment Analyzer. I designed it with a touch of warmth to make it more human-friendly. It's an application that allows users to analyze the sentiment of any text input — showing you whether the text is generally positive, negative, or neutral. This application runs as a web app, and it's powered by Python's Flask framework on the backend and Tailwind CSS for the frontend. Let's get started on how to set this up.

Features

• Easy Input: Just type in or paste any text you want to analyze.
• Instant Analysis: Click the "Analyze" button, and get your results right away!
• Reset Function: Want to try with different text? No problem, just hit the "Reset" button.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/johncarmack/sentiment-analyzer.git
cd sentiment-analyzer

2. Install Python. If you're not sure how, you can check this guide for instructions.

3. Install the project dependencies and start your virtual environment:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

4. Run the app:

flask run

Then, open up your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000/.

Deployment

This app is ready to be deployed using Zappa, a serverless framework for Python. The app is configured to be deployed on AWS via the zappa_settings.json file. Remember to replace the placeholders with your AWS details.

To deploy the app, you just need to run:

zappa deploy dev

or:

zappa deploy production

depending on the environment you wish to deploy.

For more information about Zappa, check their documentation.

GitHub Actions

The .github/workflows/zappa.yml file sets up a GitHub Actions workflow for continuous integration and deployment. Whenever you push to the main branch, your application will be deployed to AWS automatically.

Future Improvements

Like all projects, this is a work in progress. Here are some enhancements that could be made:

• Allow the analysis of more complex forms of text, like documents or URLs.
• Improve the interface for a more immersive user experience.
