Some code I wrote to analyze one of my favorite group chats in college. There are probably better ways to do this now, but at the time I used a AutoHotKey to scroll through and save an entire m.facbook.com chat to an HTML file. There were better ways of doing this through an API or something, but it's been a fun side project.

If I have time, I'll post some anonymized results here. No promises though!

If you have a similar file, maybe this will work for you? Clone the repo, and

pip install -r requirements.txt

Due to the types, it requires Python v3.5+. After that, you should:

• Run ./database.py to generate the database
• Change the FNAME constant at the top of parse.py to point to your data
• Run ./parse.py

If it all works out, you should have a nice database to work with! If not, well, you can shoot me a message I guess?

Want to help out? Cool! I like using:

• yapf for formatting my code
• flake8 for linting my code
• pyre for type checking my code

Please use those too!
