🎪 What is This?

The Regret-o-Meter is an AI-powered app that analyzes your text, social media snippets, or daily confessions, and gives you:

📊 Regret Score (0-100+) based on sentiment, self-blame, sarcasm, and emojis
🎯 Top Regret Highlight - The line you'll regret the most (or laugh at later)
💬 Cheeky Comments - Snarky, sarcastic feedback about your chaos level
🌈 Visual Meter - Color-coded chaos indicator (green → smooth, yellow → risky, red → LEGENDARY)

Think of it as a daily chaos evaluator—because life is messy, and now you can quantify it. 😅

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+ - Download here
Node.js 14+ - Download here
npm or yarn

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/willow788/Regret-oh-meter.git
cd Regret-oh-meter

Step 2: Setup Backend (Python + FastAPI)

# Navigate to backend directory
cd CODE/python\ code

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate virtual environment
# Windows: 
venv\Scripts\activate

# macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install fastapi uvicorn transformers torch pydantic

Step 3: Run Backend Server

# Make sure you're in CODE/python code directory
uvicorn main:app --reload

The backend will start at http://127.0.0.1:8000 🚀

Step 4: Setup Frontend (React)

Open a new terminal window:

# Navigate to frontend directory (create if doesn't exist)
mkdir -p regret-o-meter-frontend
cd regret-o-meter-frontend

# Initialize React app (if not already done)
npx create-react-app . 

# Copy the frontend files
# Copy CODE/javascript part/app.js to src/App.js
# Copy CODE/styling css/app.css to src/App.css

# Install axios
npm install axios

# Start development server
npm start

The frontend will open at http://localhost:3000 🎨

📖 Usage

Quick Start

Start the backend (in one terminal):

cd CODE/python\ code
source venv/bin/activate  # or venv\Scripts\activate on Windows
uvicorn main:app --reload

Start the frontend (in another terminal):
```
cd regret-o-meter-frontend
npm start
```
Open your browser to http://localhost:3000
Paste your chaotic text in the textarea
Click "Analyze" and watch the magic happen! ✨

🎯 How It Works

Scoring Algorithm

Text Splitting - Input divided into individual lines
Pattern Matching - Each line analyzed for:
- Negative keywords (bad, terrible, disaster)
- Self-blame phrases (I should have, It's my fault)
- Sarcasm indicators (great idea, yeah right)
- Emotional emojis (😭😩😤)
Score Calculation - Points accumulated based on matches
Aggregation - Average score calculated across all lines
Top Regret - Line with highest individual score identified
Comment Generation - Sarcastic feedback based on total score

Comment System

if average_score > 80:
    "Legendary chaos. You've peaked. Frame this moment. 🏆"
elif average_score > 50:
    "Yikes. That's a lot of regret fuel. ☕"
elif average_score > 30:
    "Not terrible, but not great either. Room for improvement. 📉"
else:
    "You're basically a zen master.  Teach us your ways. 🧘"

🔮 Future Upgrades

🎪 FAQ

Q: Is this serious?
A: Absolutely not. It's 100% chaos theater.

Q: Will it actually help me?
A: Help you laugh at yourself? Yes. Help you make better decisions? Probably not.

Q: Can I use this for my texts before sending?
A: Sure! But if the regret score is high, maybe... don't send? Just a thought. 🙄

Q: Why does it roast me so hard?
A: Because you pasted chaos and expected sympathy. The algorithm shows no mercy.

Q: Can I customize the comments?
A: Yes! Edit main.py and add your own sarcastic masterpieces.

Q: Does it store my data?
A: Currently, no. Everything is processed in real-time and forgotten immediately.
