Hey HN!As I sat to write my 2025 reflection, I realized one thing I was missing was a ‘year wrapped’ for my relationships — I got my music, got my photos, got my fitness wraps — but what about my relationships?Specifically, I wanted to figure out what my text conversations say about my relationships and myself, and if there’s been evolution throughout the year.Who reaches out more? What’s our tone and conflict resolution? What were our month by month successes and conflicts?So I built an app that analyzes WhatsApp conversations (.txt files) and surfaces the patterns — using Anthropic’s API for the AI-generated analysis and Instant as my database.It’s called Text Unwrapped.You sign up, and upload a conversation from WhatsApp. That’s sent to Anthropic's Claude AI with a bunch of different prompts. Here are some of the things you get:- Relationship score & synopsis on overall communication - Personality Profiles (Myers Briggs, tone analysis, top themes & emojis) - A month-by month timeline, outlining key texts and themes for that month - Actionable insights for each person - A deep dive on a topic of your choice (say you want to dive into defensiveness or avoidance) - POVs from different schools of psychology, like CBT and JungianYou can try this yourself. I made it so each sign up gets 1 free credit (1 credit = 1 conversation analysis).I am not a technical person: I vibe-coded this. I used Claude Code (Opus 4.5), and Instant as the backend.I’ve been playing around with making apps for the last few years, but it was always hard to make a leap. As of this March, I was able to start turning a lot of my passion projects into real ideas. I’ve made a few personal apps, but this is the first one I wanted to share on HN.It took me about 3 days to build this. Once I had a strong spec in place, I needed to make very little changes to Claude (mainly upgraded the design and double checked permissions). Outside of that, Instant was a big help: Claude was able to use it and add auth in less than 2 minutes.The hardest part was adding Stripe - but mainly because I hadn’t done this before. Claude Code guided me through the Webhook setup, and the main challenge was listening to the ‘checkout complete’ to validate payment and add credits to the user.I know privacy is a big concern here. For what it’s worth, I don’t store the actual conversation file — it’s deleted as soon as the conversation analysis is completed. I only store the analysis in the database.Hope you enjoy it!
