NANY 2014 Pledge: Text Analysis App
« on: December 13, 2013, 09:15 PM »
Text Analysis App

This app will make it easier to analyze a chunk of text and see useful information. Its focus is analysis rather than manipulation.

I've been dealing with some rather large log files at work lately, and I find myself dissatisfied with my ability to extract useful information from large bodies of text. Crafting find-and-replace queries, importing to Excel, and visually scanning for data are all tedious processes that dance around the goal: gathering information and answering questions. This tool will be different. Somehow.
Funny that programmers chose the phrase "Hello, World" while most of us are introverts.

I have a fondness for text manipulation apps. I'm trying to think if I have any killer use cases but nothing yet.

Any news here Pyro?

And will there ever be feature updates after Nany? Murphy's law sez one day I'll latch on to this but want a killer app feature. : )

Pyro, I assume you weren't able to finish the app in time for the NANY deadline?
