RallySearch

Codeship Status for kevineger/rallysearch

Overview

RallySearch is an alternative way of consuming Reddit. As Redditors all know, search functionality within the site is rather lackluster. This prototype project aims to offer an alternative to browsing Reddit by it's content in a visually pleasing and simple fashion.

Top media posts on Reddit are sent through Google's Cloud Vision (Image recognition API) and results are cached. Upon giving each image (or preview in the case of videos and gifs) labels, users can easily view similar content by selecting the desired tag(s).

This project is part of a larger project aimed towards generating insights and analytics towards Reddit data for my undergraduate honours thesis. RallySearch is designed to be slim with limited yet effective functionality.
