### Project Update - 2023

As of February 2023, X no longer provides free API. This makes it impractical to continue running this app affordably or at scale.

Further to this, now that general purpose AI models are faster, more available and less expensive than ever before, the static analysis approach (used here) no longer makes sense, given that AI sentiment analysis will yield much more accurate and insightful results.

For these reasons, the public instance of Sentiment Sweep is no longer available, and this project will cease to be maintained going forwards

We had a good run! The Sentiment Sweep website ran for nearly a decade, saw upwards of 1 million sessions, and won 2 awards. It was a great learning experience, and a fun little project. Thank you everybody who used, supported and visited the website! 💖

I'm going to focus my time working on some other open source projects now, so if you're not already - consider following me on GitHub to see updates! https://github.com/lissy93
