Hey fellow Q'ers... I am considering making a rather simple web app that helps to somewhat automate the process of decoding tweets (the decoding process can't really be fully automated in most cases, at least not in any way that I'm aware of). The app will look at Trump's tweets by default, but can be used to analyze any tweet by url. It will contain functionality including:
- list Q drops that are possibly referenced by timestamp, or if it is tweet thread, examine the deltas between tweets and see if they might lead to Q posts that are relevant
- possibly applying the +/- 1200, 2400 rule when it comes to looking up Q posts
- List capitalized letters within tweet, find possible anagrams (incl. those of common relevant abbreviations), calc gematria values (cap. letters only)
- Check tweet's overall gematria value
- use natural language processing API to determine topics written about in a tweet
- use NLP API to perform sentiment analysis and categorize tweet as positive, neutral, or negative. can also be used to compute objectivity vs subjectivity
not very difficult to do with php and I could probably do it in about half of a weekend. is this a stupid idea, or might it be useful? if anyone has any other feature suggestions, please do describe them as well.
update: there is one moron in here who keeps accusing me of being a paytriot. I want to make very clear that this is NOT a commercial venture of any sort. IF it comes to fruition, it will be 100% free, open source, and hosted on a server that I personally own (i.e. not monetized by ads or anything of the sort). Note the word "if" - that is the point of this topic, I haven't even definitively said that this is something I intend to pursue. I made this thread to gauge interest in it and hear others' opinions. This is simply what I thought would be an interesting project that maybe some people would benefit from or find useful, NOT a commercial venture of any sort, as I've stated over and over in the comments below.

Half a weekend? Lots of decode rules and permutations to be considered. I think this might be a bigger project than you realize, though I feel you may have a better handle on it than I do. I wrote a lot of code over the years, but I left that profession years ago (retired). Just determining which CAPS are out of place, misspelled words, missing or added characters ... Mind warping amount of code to be written and debugged. Every time I read SB2 I get mind warped!
Would it be beneficial to publish a shell spec on decoding tweets that other Anons can add suggestions/methods to prior to you writing the code? That would evolve into documentation on how to decode and how to use your tool after it is released. Partitioning what can be handled by your tool and how the tool output can be further decoded using methods not included with the tool?
If you code all the "routine" decode tasks it will be a big asset to help us decode faster. Roll it out, take the feedback and add new tools as time and necessity dictates for the next revisions.
Just my thoughts FWIW. Sounds like a great idea!

The NumberFag here. Yes, I will provide the framework you Code Anons need to start work. This will include exactly what data to be drawing in for analysis. I will do the analysis/decode itself. Thank you.

I like this. Also former software developer (concussions took me out).
I really like the "Unix way" of using small tools which do "one thing well" to build up some awesome structures. By this I mean -- it would be great if this project was open sourced, and made of several components. That way people with expertise in one area can help with that component (e.g., "finding the capital letters that aren't normal" for one; "calling out to the gematria API" for another; etc).
A couple hours with WordPress should get the framework started. I would love to help out on this, to the extent of my remaining abilities that is.

not going to use wordpress, but was intending to use a LAMP stack and something like php with the many components modularized as you suggested (gematria API, NLP APIs, other command line tools, etc).
20389734? ago
Let me know if I can help. You can email me at [email protected] (and, maybe reply here when you email, as I don't check it often since it's mostly "throwaway" -- and, a joke domain, at that!).
Only reason I suggested WordPress is they make "accounts" fairly simple, but I'm sure you can find a library for that these days. :)
I can set up a Jenkins instance to run tests etc, as well as a Bugzilla or other bug tracker you prefer (IIRC, JIRA is free for one or two users). The bug tracker should be particularly helpful in marshalling the modular parts across the finish line.
I really like the idea of the modular components, because, as someone else said -- this game might be over in a few weeks, but by doing it in a reusable fashion, the effort won't be completely wasted.
I can also help writing two documents: the "functional spec" which is how a user interacts with the system; and a "technical spec" which is the technologies that the developers will use to bring it to fruition. (Man I miss this stuff!)
Thank you for your response.

thanks man, I will be in touch!
I've written a lot of php web apps over the years and I've always handled accounts/registration with the built-in session handling and standard authentication using stored usernames/password hashes in a mysql db table. I do think this could benefit from something like what auth0.com offers (lets you register an account using other services you may already have, like google/fb/twitter).

Cool, you got the email address and I will now edit it out to avoid spam and such. :)
20391926? ago
np. i sent you an email whenever you have a chance to take a look.
20391962? ago
Will do!

Our biggest asset is our hive mind.
One thing that worries me is timing. We could create a kick ass decoder ring in a few weeks or months, but the storm (and related tweets with embedded knowledge) may be over in a few months. Much effort into a tool with a limited lifespan.
Here is where a published decode methodology spec would be immediately beneficial to those who wish to decode tweets. An expert knowledge base from which to generate the code to create the decoder ring as well as an instrument to immediately grow the human capability within Qanon. This would allow Anons to expertly decode now while the code is constructed to process the easier/redundant tasks of a decode. Thoughts anybody? Anyone an expert tweet decoder? I'd doubt SB2 would want to provide his expertise because it would reduce his clicks if everyone had the manual of rules and methodology at their fingertips.

I once wanted to write software to help with Elliot Waves, in investing. Turns out it's not so easy. I'd imagine the "SB2 script" is similarly, "not so easy"...

I lived for cool projects back in my day. I absolutely loved conquering complex issues and developing the architecture and scripts to automate those complex things that had never been done before in my industry. I do miss that great feeling of accomplishment!
Yes, occasionally I would underestimate how long a project would take. Overly optimistic project plans can translate to working nights, weekends and a missed vacation to meet the deadline I had agreed to. Good thing I loved the work!
20388076? ago
Yeah. I miss the 80+ hour weeks, somewhat. The divorces? Not so much.
20388118? ago
Oh yes! You've been there and done that too! Funny how most wives just don't understand.
20388573? ago
Yeah, had the million-dollar account before 30 as well!
My other siblings, though -- they have families.
