The rollout of new features continues! After rolling...

The rollout of new features continues! After rolling out player data 10 days ago, today I'm excited to share that I've built out tracking -- you can now subscribe to your favorite teams and players, see their sentiment data on a new dedicated home page, and get weekly emails with the latest data about the teams and players you care about!" "" "As you may have noticed, the sentiment data still leaves a lot to be desired, but that's not currently my focus. I've intentionally not spent time improving the sentiment data as there's just too much other work to do, and I'm building this solo, part-time!" "" "What's got my focus over the next week is switching gears to fantasy data. The fantasy football season is around the corner, and this is where all of this sentiment data truly shines: in improving projection accuracy. So Sentitrac will offer these higher accuracy projections as soon as possible, and better yet, I'll show the comparison to other platforms' projections to show the differences in accuracy!" "" "There are two more reasons not to focus on sentiment data in the immediate short term: aside from the MLB, all of these leagues are in their offseasons, and anyone who knows me knows that baseball is not my top priority (sorry, all baseball fans). The amount of data produced about NFL players and teams is low, and Sentitrac relies on high data volumes to extract what the internet thinks about teams and players. The second reason is that sentiment data will improve via Sentitrac usage. Until these leagues are in season and fantasy data is available, there's not much reason to use Sentitrac! " "" "Overall, I'm excited about the progress I've made on Sentitrac in the past few weeks, and I can't wait for the NFL to come back and give Sentitrac some actual usage! In the meantime, the Threads launch has been a fun distraction; you can find @sentitrac there to see daily data highlights!
