Generating AI Summary...
Analyzing up to 500 comments to identify key contributors and discussion patterns
It aggregates market indicators that have been known to generate contrarian buy/sell signals. CNN Fear & Greed, Bank of America SSI, AAII Investor Sentiment Survey among others.
A few technical details:
* vibe coded ~70% of it — the parts that not were either UI polish that was faster to do directly or points of the data scraping pipeline where Claude got stuck
* architecture: vanilla JS frontend + Python/Flask backend + background jobs that run an AI data extraction pipeline (Perplexity Sonar / Exa for search + GPT-5)
* runs on render.com as web service + two cron jobs that run the data update process and send daily email notifications
At some point I did try Codex for a few PRs that were never merged and I re-did instead with Claude.
