Mess

Messenger statistics.

Setup

1. Download your messenger chat history. You can follow this. I suggest you download only last year or so, otherwise it takes ages to complete your file creation.
2. Move inbox folder from extracted zip archive to <this-repo>/res (res folder is ignored in this repo not to exhibit your personal data)

# Install dependencies
mix deps.get

4. Check if it's compiling: mix test

Running

iex -S mix

This command starts an interactive session with your files compiled so you can acces them in REPL.

Where are we using flow?

• Extracting data from each file.

  • For each message filepath extract it into some internal representation

• Extracting statistics.

  • Total number of exchanged messages
  • Messages exchanged per day
  • Bags of words. Which words do we use most frequently
  • With who did we exchange the most messages

• Search for specific word usage.

  • How many times have someone (especially we) used it together with windowing in 1000 counter window
