This application is a simple scraper for Reddit, developed in Go. It allows users to get Reddit posts related to a specific topic and extracts the comments associated with those posts. The application performs sentiment analysis (positive or negative) on the comments using NLP (Natural Language Processing). It uses parallel scraping for faster data collection and operates through a console-based interface.
- Go (Golang): The programming language used to develop the application.
