Social Sculptor

Track Insights of social media at one place

Welcome to my project "Social Sculptor". As the title suggests, here you can analyse and sculpt your presence on social media.

VIDEO LINK - Video which gives a complete walkthrough of my project along with explaination of my process and ideas. The social media platforms which is handled by this project:

• REDDIT
• FACEBOOK
• YOUTUBE

Features

The features were carefully created based on user experience and usefulness. I have tried to reach my best potential in the time constraint given

• REDDIT: -- Track a subreddit: Subscribers -- Track a post: Score, Upvotes
• FACEBOOK: -- Track your posts: See all type of reactions, shares
• YOUTUBE: -- Track a channel: Number of videos, subscribers, views -- Track a video: Number of likes, views, comments
• All the data is updated automatically for the choosen interval
• The frontend supports dynamic updation of these stats for the interval with visually pleasing charts, data cards and more
• Facebook data is extracted from OAUTH-2 API. For now it is only possible from the App creators account as they allow for projects which are published to allow login from any account.
• Secure backup to backend for efficient retreival
• REDUX state management to ensure less load on the server

Cool things to find in the project

These are some of the things to look out for creativity and logic

• Automatic Refressher - Runs the refreshing algorithms at fixed intervals of time
• Backend Controllers - API controllers and backend to handle API requests and connection to python backend
• Python Backend - Python backend to handle PRAW library to manage reddit functions and API
• Chart Data Generator on Frontedn - Code in folders like "YoutubeById", "FacebookPostAnalysis", etc to generate Time series data for visual enhancement

Analysis on what improvement can be done:

If I had more time these are some of the changes that I would do

• Handle processing of chart data in seperate components
• Better logic to handle failures in API fetching of Facebook
• Strong encryption on data saved in the backend
• Reduce redundancy both in frontend and backend by refactoring some parts of code

Tech

The tech used for the project:

• NodeJs
• Express
• React
• Python
• MongoDB
• REST API's
• Material UI Library for styled components
