Word Cloud Generator For Reddit Sidebar & Theme

What is this?

Grabs the last 100 submissions of a subreddit, creates a wordcloud from the text and uploads it as a sidebar image on Reddit. Also writes the history to a wiki page along with uploading the image to Imgur and posting a new submission on chosen subreddit. Enjoy!

Install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Fill in the blanks

Enter all your juicy details and set variables in config.py

Run it

python3 run.py

Install to sidebar

Add blank image link to the sidebar
```
[](//recycledrobot.co.uk)
```

Add CSS styles to stylesheet (edit to suit your theme)

  .side .md [href='//recycledrobot.co.uk'] {
    display: block;
    height: 318px;
    width: 318px;
    background: url(%%cloud%%);
    background-size: 318px;
    margin-left: -15px;
  }

Upload cloud image placeholder
```
data/cloud.jpg
```

Install full theme

I've included a modified version of the popular theme Naut that works nicely with the word cloud. Copy the contents of theme/styles.css over to the subreddit stylesheet and upload all the images in the theme folder. Take a look at the marvellous spangly Live demo if you like.

License Stuff

This 'ere software is hacky as fuck. Use at your peril. I'd appreciate a mention if you do. But if you don't, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
