Essay Quality Checker

The EQC in action!

Inspiration

I was inspired to build the EQC because I write articles daily. A "reverse" quality checker was a pretty funny idea, in my opinion. The program also comments on your subskills (text length, unique words), and rates them as well!

What it does

The EQC checks the text that you input and rates it from a scale of 1 to 100. A 1 indicates a perfect text, and a 100 indicates a bad text (monotonous, short text). The gist is that few people can get used to the scale, and instead of helpful suggestions on how you can fix the problem, the program roasts you.

How I built it

I built the program using Python and Spyder.

Challenges I ran into

My code wouldn't work for some time - until I figured out I made a small mistake on a line in the beginning of the program and that, because of it, the EQC didn't work.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I have created several websites - https://readermaria.com/ is a website for my articles and reviews! I built it with manual code and learned how to apply my skills.

What I learned

I gained experience - this is my first Hackathon ever!
I learned to be a better programmer, and how fun coding can be in interesting projects (like this).
I practiced my usage of for loops and conditional statements.
