u/DataScraper

Got tired of manually searching PDFs so I built something. **What it does:** - Full-text search across all HOC releases - OCR for scanned documents - Date range filtering - Name entity extraction - Export results to CSV GitHub: [link] Built with Python, uses Tesseract for OCR and ElasticSearch for indexing. Currently indexed 4,287 documents. Pull requests welcome. Looking for help with: - Better date parsing (formats are inconsistent) - Handwriting recognition - UI improvements Running a public instance here: [link] - be patient, it's on a cheap server.

Finally finished my visualization project. **What I built:** - Interactive map showing all documented flights - Filter by year, destination, passenger - Animation showing patterns over time - Heatmap of most frequent routes **Key findings:** - Clear seasonal patterns (winter = Caribbean) - Frequency increased 2001-2005 - Sharp drop after 2008 - Routes changed after conviction **Technical details:** - Python for data processing - D3.js for visualization - Data from all released FOIA logs Live demo: [link] Source code: [link] Let me know if you find errors or want features added.
