Great PowerPoint. Really LOVED how it took you 100 slides to explain mood analysis. Positive mood.
"Aye, right".
Author concurs!

Re: Show HN: Should I Send It? Helping you understand your mood in emails
#12Hey, so I've wondered for some time now how social media sites might benefit from a sentiment analysis score applied to their users, who are then given more or less moderation ability based on the result of that score. Obviously tons of edge cases, but what do y'all think of this? Combined with Slashdot's "king for a day" moderation style, could this solve some of the lingering issues present in social media? I'd lov…
Peepeth.com is experimenting with features like that. Currently, posts get a toxicity score from a Google API before they're even posted, and users are asked to confirm if it's above a certain threshold. Lots of false positives, but it seems to be reducing profanity. Disclaimer: I'm the founder.
Very cool! Looks crypto focused at the moment, but sounds like you're innovating in the community moderation space. I'll definitely check it out!

#13Having written my bachelor's thesis on how negation in sentences affects their sentiment: it is really, really difficult. Even just differentiating between negative/neutral/positive sentiment is successful only about ~65% of the time (depending on the source material). Text based Irony/Sarcasm detection is still an unsolved problem (most of the times even for humans, as it is strongly context dependent, not to mentio…
So does this mean something like crowd sourced scoring of sentiment does better than algorithmic detection? Or do people suck just as badly?

#14Cool execution of an idea - congrats on launching!
This could get share traction if users were able to submit a message and make it public. My friends/coworkers had a phase where we did that with this tool:

#15I've had a conversation about something like this nearly every year that I worked in Corporate America. Interesting to see it get built (I can't speak to the history of other implementations). Those past discussions were around an MS Outlook add-on to disable/gate the send button if the email draft content was too egregious.
A few questions I had about your product:
* How would you monetize? (If you're thinking of doing so?)
* Have you considered integrating with other messaging?Re: Show HN: Should I Send It? Helping you understand your mood in emails
#16For anyone wondering how it works: > - The chrome extension doesn’t read the content of your web pages. > - The chrome extension only reads your highlighted text when you click the extension smile icon. > - Your highlighted text is passed from your browser to our API where the sentiment is calculated, we do not store in any way the text you highlight. https://www.rarely.io/work/should-i-send-it
This could change at any time, because extensions are automatically updated (unless you change the setting), and the permissions when it's installed allow it to, so it could start sending the text in the active text area, for example. There's also no way for them to prove that they don't store the text that's sent to them.
Chrome used to always show a list of requested permissions when installing an extension, but it doesn't anymore, unless it's asking for special permissions. Extensions can do a lot without special permissions.

#17Sorry but what on earth is this demo video blathering on about? half way through it's still setting the plot to some hypothetic bad day. Get to the point!

There have been a few implementations in the past, including tonecheck. https://techcrunch.com/2010/07/20/tonecheck/

#19Oh cool stuff! I was thinking about building something similar, how to get in touch?

#20IMO add a gif of the system working right on the front page (similar to https://getstation.com/)
It’ll drive more conversions.
Also after working on sentiment analysis for a long time, you should let each user build their own model with tensorflow.js. That may be a down the line kind of thing, but otherwise your model will be fairly inaccurate.
I say this having worked heavily in the space: https://hnprofile.com/
