fviz

Facebook Data Visualizer - made with <3

Released v1.0.0 on PyPI

vision

I was interested in understanding my facebook activity i.e.

How much time I'm spending on facebook
Which quarter of day I'm mostly active on facebook
Which are those profiles, I'm mostly interacting with
What's my facebook friending rate
How has my facebook browsing behaviour changed overtime etc.

Also I had a knack in checking how much data I'm giving to facebook. So, I thought of analysing exported facebook data and understanding what it is saying.

Later on I thought of making this tool a portable and easy installable one. So that anyone with some simple installation skills can use this tool and generate several plots, and understand their own facebook activity.

This tool does strictly run on user's machine. It doesn't talk to any remote machine, so you can use it safely by feeding it your exported facebook data.
