Today, I introduced a feature to [[https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg][lazyblorg]] I love to present to you:
auto-tags.

The first auto-tag of lazyblorg is ... tadaaa: language detection. I
was looking forward to this feature because I blog in English and
German language. However, I am too lazy for manually tag meta-data
like defining the (main) language of a blog entry.

--------

Implementing language detection was rather straight-forward and not
that hard. I retrieved lists of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words][stop words]] for German and English
languages. After parsing my Org-mode files, lazyblorg determines the
percentages of language-specific stop words from the blog text. If
there is a dominant value within the list of percentages, lazyblorg
found the dominant text language.

So from now on, all of my blog entries are tagged with
"language:english" or "language:deutsch". Those tags are the result of
my language detection algorithm.

In future, I'd like to see separate [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_%28standard%29][Atom]] feeds for each language so
that, e.g., German-only people are able to follow my German articles.

Also planned: auto-tags for other things like the size of the blog
entry. This way, I am probably able to replace micro-blogging services
like Twitter. Atom feeds for auto-tags like "size:small" could provide
many cool features.

Do you have ideas for other auto-tags that would enhance the reading
experience? Please leave a comment below!
