We rank coding bootcamps. 📊

Overview

I developed a web app (still in BETA) that ranks coding bootcamps based on social and rating score based on data crawled from various sites (LinkedIn, Twitter, Yelp, Course Report, Facebook, AngelList, Google+, etc.) using Cheerio and the MEAN stack.This project was completed on August 11th, 2015 for the Stackathon phase of Fullstack Academy.

Review and rating scores are calculated from

Future Features

• Users can add bootcamps. - Admins can add/update bootcamps. - Sort by specific provider. - Resource page. - Sockets for real time adding and updating of bootcamps. - Calculating Techendo average rating fairly. - Calculate number of unique reviews from each provider, but don’t actually copy the reviews over. - Better comments so others can easily contribute. - Get links to other links from Course Report so less links are needed and scraping is faster. - Refactoring of code in general.
