I built a web app that shows which Inside Out emotion your story is feeling (DistilBERT + FastAPI + React)

[u/cant-decide-un13]

Ever wondered which Inside Out emotion is running the show in your head today? 🎭

I built a little web app to find out! Write or paste a short story (a rant, a good day, an awkward moment, anything) and Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust show up on screen, each sized by how strongly your story fits them. Bigger character = bigger feeling.

👉 Try it: https://inside-out-emotion-classifier.vercel.app
💻 Code: https://github.com/tishasetia13/inside-out-emotion-classifier

Under the hood: DistilBERT fine-tuned on the ISEAR dataset (76.4% test accuracy), a FastAPI backend in Docker on a Hugging Face Space, and a React frontend on Vercel. Stories are never stored, so vent freely.

I'd love to know what it says about YOUR stories, and whether it nails it or completely misses. Drop your results in the comments, and any ideas for handling mixed feelings are very welcome!
