I wonder what the most common word will be? I'd guess between "covid" and "Maddie"

  Who is Maddie?
  - HDMI_Cable 6y ago
    I think Maddie McCann, she was a young girl who disappeared in Portugal sometime a few years ago. She's been in the news recently I believe.
    - PhillyG 6y ago
      Oooof I was assuming it was a different Maddie. But yes that's the most famous Maddie in the UK. Might be a coincidence though. It feels like it was over ten years the Maddie you're thinking of disappeared while on holiday (Edit: looked it up) Maddie McCann disappeared in may 2007

    A guy was on talking about his ex-gf Maddie, and then it carried on.

  over the last ~20hrs, the most common words and their frequencies are "the": 12263, "i": 12212, "fuck": 9015, "you": 8940. with stopwords removed, these become "fuck": 9015, "guess": 4084, "nums": 4062, "cunny": 3728. out of interest "maddie": 857, "covid": 231 I wondered too

Looks like it caps off at 2,000, and we're currently at 130K+ messages
- distribot 6y ago
  what does this mean?
  - maximp 6y ago
    The API returns at most 2000 messages at a time (this might have changed since I last tried), and last I looked the message IDs were around 130K, meaning that's how messages there have been.

I'm not sure why there is a database at all, if you want messages to just appear and not stick around you could do this over websockets and never need to touch a database
- VentScape 6y ago
  I'm brand new to full stack so I have no idea what I'm doing. Kind of figuring it out as I go along. Decided to start with short polling since I was having trouble getting websockets working and just wanted to get a v1.0 out in the wild. Switching over to websockets eventually is 100% on my mind, but I have a near infinite amount of work to do on all fronts so we'll see when I have time!
  - dstick 6y ago
    Good on you. Learning about DB structure is far more important than websockets when starting out full-stack. You’d need to run your own websocket server anyway or pay through the nose for a service like Pusher (or stay on the free tier and not learn a single thing about either). You choose well! Nice job, keep at it :)
    - friend-monoid 6y ago
      I agree absolutely - just want to add that learning when not to use a db, which db to use when you need one, and which network protocols to use for an application, is also important
  - randomP 6y ago
    Congrats for the little project, pls opensource the db!
  - maximp 6y ago
    Not sure what your backend is, but websockets are pretty straightforward with socket.io! Happy to help get you up to speed - don't hesitate to reach out (@maxverse on twitter, email in profile) Great job figuring things out as you go, and I love the experience. Keep up the good work!
