How is saltiness trained? Are there readily available sentiment analysis tools or did the author train it himself? Anyway, cool and entertaining idea :) PS: not just seeing the saltiest but also the sweetest comments of a person would be nice.

For this version we used TextBlob out of the box with some custom weighting to avoid false positives.

We'll relaunch in about two weeks with an improved model that we're currently training on a much larger labeled dataset and SOTA BERT model. :)
