Script to compute metrics for your messenger conversations

Note: I made this guide up mostly for myself so it's kinda hand-wavey. If you run into any trouble, ping me :)

Clone this repo

$ git clone [email protected]:Atyansh/messenger-stats.git
$ cd messenger-stats

You're going to need to install wordcloud. You may want to do this in a virtual environment but that's entirely up to you.

$ virtualenv msg_stats
$ source msg_stats/bin/activate
$ pip install wordcloud

• Open constants.py in your favorite editor.
• Edit the FILENAME variable to point to whichever messenger conversation you want to work with.
• Change the constants PRINT_STATS or GENERATE_WORDCLOUD to your liking. $ You can fiddle with the wordcloud dimensions or word length threshold if you want. I found good results at 4 and 6.

$ python parse.py
