Welcome to the world of BANaNAS, a web app developed by a team of four software engineering students with a passion for data analysis and a curious streak. The idea behind BANaNAS is to take two random pieces of data from around the web and see if they're related in any way. It's like a game of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" but with data, and you never know what kind of interesting pattern you might uncover.
We believe that data analysis should be accessible to everyone, not just experts in the field. That's why we've created BANaNAS, a tool that allows users to explore data in a fun and interactive way. With BANaNAS, you never know what kind of connection you might make. It all started with a spark of inspiration and a lot of hard work, and we're excited to share BANaNAS with the world. So go ahead, give it a try and see what kind of interesting connections you can make.
BANaNAS uses top-secret algorithms to aggregate data and find correlations, but please keep in mind that the correlations found by BANaNAS should be taken with a grain of salt and a dash of humor. We encourage users to check out the sources and do their own analysis, as correlation does not equal causation.
BANaNAS is built with a combination of cutting-edge technologies and a commitment to learning new concepts. The team of developers leveraged the power of D3, Python, Node, Express, and Svelte to bring BANaNAS to life. These technologies were chosen for their ability to handle data visualization, server-side processing, and interactive frontend experiences, respectively.
In addition to the primary technologies, BANaNAS also utilizes PostgreSQL (psql) for data storage and Lottie SVG for animations. The use of these technologies ensures that the app is performant and visually appealing, delivering a seamless experience to the user.
The team was dedicated to learning and using the most suitable technologies for the job, always with an eye toward delivering the best possible experience to the user. The choice of technologies and the commitment to learning and implementing them is a testament to the team's passion for software engineering and data analysis.
BANaNAS was brought to life by these talented individuals:
[Alex] (https://github.com/alexryanjones) : A design wizard with a focus on frontend development, who brought the app to life with his exceptional organizational skills and forward-thinking mindset.
[Alessio] (https://github.com/Al366io) : A backend genius who can create endpoints faster than you can request them.
[Seth] (https://github.com/sethjplatt) : An organized and efficient team player who holds everything together with his expertise in backend development.
[Terence] (https://github.com/TerenceGrover) : A polymath full-stack developer with a passion for data visualization, frontend development, and of course, bananas!
BANaNAS is a project developed by students and is for educational and demonstration purposes only. The creators of BANaNAS are not professional statisticians and the app is not intended for professional or commercial use. The correlations found by BANaNAS should be taken with a grain of salt and used for entertainment purposes only.
