Web app to generate personalized stats about your digital life

[rtallarr]

Project description

This web app would provide users with a centralized dashboard to track their digital activity across different platforms like music streaming, gaming, and social media. By pulling data from APIs such as Spotify, Steam, GitHub, and Chess.com, etc, it could generate personalized insights, trends, and visualizations. The goal would be to offer users an easy way to view their online habits all in one place, removing the need to check multiple services. The focus would be on seamless integration and creating a smooth, engaging user experience.

Features:

• Music Stats: Track listening habits, favorite artists, most-played songs, and genre preferences over time.
• Gaming Insights: Analyze playtime, achievements, game rankings, and performance metrics.
• Social Media Activity: View engagement trends, post frequency, follower growth, and interaction insights.
• Data Visualization: Interactive charts, graphs, and reports for easy understanding.
• Custom Reports & Sharing: Generate personalized reports and share key highlights with friends.

Relevant Technology

As a web app, it includes a frontend (Angular or React) and a backend (Node/Express). I'm more familiar with Angular, but I’m open to using React if it better suits the project (and the community).

I’ve created an empty repo for anyone who wants to join in. Everyone is welcome, including beginners

Can you please specify the end goal of the app here? What are the personalized stats about? Also, I am a complete beginner who is just interested in the project. I am pretty sure you need a lot of web scraping/python stuff for data visualization.

Generate personalized insights, trends, and visualizations about various apps and services you use.

No scraping is needed. It would just be data from available APIs

Basically a user would enter the website and connect (might be just entering their username) to an app e.g. spotify, and get the data from the API and then display it.

I'm probably going to start the project in the weekend or next week. I'm thinking of using NEXT/React

As someone who started out with Apache, I am learning about Node.js and Express right now. I don't think I can handle a full backend for something, but I can deploy the project on Docker and test it.
Also, are we using a MERN stack for this?
