This project is part of my bachelor thesis and explores data from the subreddit r/ChangeMyVew. With these visualisations I want to support a previous paper about this data, and explore it visually to better understand the results of said paper. Right now these visualisations exist:

• Barcharts: Show what sequences of unique ADU types are found in all clusters and also in the single clusters, and how often
• Piecharts: Show the relative amount of single ADU-types found in the clusters and overall
• Threads: Show the structure of the conversations on the subreddit. The colours denote what cluster a comment belongs to (OP clusters are different from comment clusters)
• Heatmaps: Show what ADU tpe (y-axis) followed after another ADU type (x-axis) per cluster and overall
• Barcharts next to Heatmaps: Show how many times an ADU type followed after the same one and how long the sequence was. The number on the x-axis lists the length of the sequence and the bar shows how often this sequence appeared
• Heatmap Series: Shows how often an ADU Type followed after the other for the last three comments, split up into dialogues and polylogues, as well as threads that have received a delta and that have not received a delta

1. Install npm and Node.js for your operating system. I use npm to manage my dependencies and make usage easier.
2. Clone the repository, navigate to where you saved it and then into the website directory within it.
3. Open a terminal in that location (if you haven't already) and run:

npm install

This will install all necessary dependencies, including d3, TailwindCSS and snowpack.

After the installation finished, run

npm run start

to start the snowpack server at localhost:8080. You can then start your browser at that address and start exploring!

All CSS styles are set with TailwindCSS, which is installed as a dependency automatically. If you wish to add or change anything, you can start the Tailwind listener by running

npm run tailwind

Any styles you then add and remove are dynamically added and removed in src/css/tailwind-styles.css, so you can see your changes live on the webpage. See the TailwindCSS documentation for more details.
