If Sad Send Cat

My blog post: When I'm Sad My Computer Sends Me Cats

If you're sad in front of your computer, this project will send a random cat to your phone. It was an evening project to glue together a few APIs.

Hopefully this prototype can be used as inspiration for your fun ideas!

How?

• It runs locally and captures your webcam through a browser
• Emotions are tracked via vladmandic/human
• Cats are provided by The Cat API. Notifications via Pushover

Setup/Run

• Create an .env file with PUSHOVER_API_KEY and PUSHOVER_USER_KEY
• pip install -r requirements
• python server.py
• Go to http://localhost:8080
• Be sad
• Receive cat
