Anyway to plug in sentiment analysis ? I would love for you to run this through IBM Watson or something so I can see if people are saying positive things about my brand

Yeah, I'm super excited to build this out.

I'm admittedly overeager to build and am not very good at building financially sustainable projects, so I told myself I'd fund this feature with revenue from paying customers. ($0MRR right now)

In the meantime, you can use webhooks to push results into your own sentiment analysis flow. That's supported (and free).

Charge people up-front for this.

Watson is very expensive after all.

Alternatively you can use an npm module to determine basic sentiment https://www.npmjs.com/package/sentiment
