Reddit Sentiment Meter

A React application that visualizes the community mood on Reddit. It fetches sentiment scores from a backend service and displays both a real-time summary and a history chart for the past week.

Features

• Real‑time sentiment – view the overall distribution of joy, sadness, anger, fear, love and surprise in a pie chart.
• Top posts – inspect the highest scoring posts contributing to each sentiment.
• Historical trends – toggle between raw and normalized data to explore how sentiment changes over time.
• Modern stack – built with React, Vite and Tailwind CSS. Charts are rendered using Recharts.
