Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
The goal is to legally and ethically harvest advice data from public sources like Twitter & reddit via their API, distill it into consumable formats as a way to build our content library. Key subreddits include:
- r/AskReddit
- r/college
- r/gapyear
- r/lifecoaching
- r/needacoach
- r/socialskills
- r/selfimprovement
- r/softskills
Students should be prepared to:
- use open source scraping tools (ideally, but we'd be willing to explore using paid tools if you thought it was best)
- create a series of small test runs
- design a UI/UX format to render and present the information in a format consumable (viewable and searchable) by the end-user
- automate the harvesting so that it updates every 30 days
- use the API for Twitter or Reddit to integrate with the back end of our proprietary e-Learning platform
