Show HN: Parsing books for time expressions with Python
the-law-1.github.ioHey HN,
I'm Gabriel (I go by the Law on the internet), I'm a fullstack developer and I make little projects on the week-ends
A while back I found this thread on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40644960) about Author Clock.
Their website sells a clock that tells the time with book quotes. As an experiment I tried my hand at finding time expressions in books.
Here's the repo with my scripts (it's a mess) https://github.com/The-Law-1/Write-On-Time-Data
I also wrote a tiny blog about the process https://medium.com/@gabrielcodes/parsing-thousands-of-books-...
The website and data both have a lot of bugs, but it works for a lot of times, and it was a fun little project :) Let me know if you have any thoughts!
