How to use

This is a small and unpolished Laravel app.

1. Clone this repo to your machine
2. Run composer install and afterwards npm install && npm run production to download the needed dependencies and compile the minimal included assets.
3. Download your data archives (json format) from Facebook and Instagram.
4. Create a facebook and instagram directory unter storage/app/social-archives and unzip the contents of the data archives into the corresponding folder.
5. Run php artisan serve to run the webapp and head to the displayed URL. You should be able to see your basic stats ✨

How your social-archives directory should look.

Further usage and development

Feel free to copy, modify, extend or use in any way. Might break in the future if Facebook or Instagram change their exports.
