This is neat! I was wondering if someone would make something cool like this. As someone who knows nothing about sentiment analysis / NLP, what do the units on the x-axis mean? Number of positive mentions?

Simply just number of positive mentions. Essentially a mention is an upvote.

Would love to hear more on the methodology that drives the chart. Is it raw number of mentions of a stock, or does it use sentiment analysis for positive/negative mentions of a stock?

Yup. It is just the raw number of mentions. How many submission/comment has the term $GME, $AMC, or ect...

Nice job by the way. Would also be interesting to be able to click on a bar and see a spark line chart over time to show trends.

Interesting chart. i'd suggest using the same colour for each bar as people will try to read something into the colours if you vary them. Also, "interest" would be more accurate than "sentiment" in its current form.

Oh good point about the colors. Right, someone might attribute green to good and red to bad.

Yea, I was struggling to get the right terminology because "interest" might mean "short interest" in the current context of wsb.

Thanks for the feedback.

Maybe just "Stock mentions" would be more appropriate as it doesn't seem to do sentiment analysis.

Looks neat though.

How often are you polling WSB? Are you just scraping the pages by date?

Formatting is a bit off on mobile, but I'm sure you're aware and working on it. If you haven't thought of it already, you could turn this into a somewhat modular tool. Someone can go to a page, enter the subreddit of their choice, the keywords they want (or just let your software parse the most popular words that aren't common language), and have a nice chart like this quickly.

Thanks for the feedback. I am using charjs. Not sure how to make it responsive and mobile ready. Interesting idea about other subreddit. I might try and do that and see what type of data I get back.

I think it's great as it is, better formatting doesn't give more interesting data to me.

Having a graph and going more real time would be cool though.
