Twitter Critic | Devpost

TwitterCritic main site for account requests.
Demo of the application, code alongside
Each node links to the tweet it was populated from. Here you can see the most negative, and positive tweets (respectively) of Mr. West!

Inspiration

An affinity for the expedient and fun Processing language, a hackathon focus on big data, caffeine, and a need to see who is always angriest on Twitter.

What it does

Aggregates the 100 most recent tweets of any Twitter account, rates their sentimentality, and plots them as colorful, interactive links on a 2D graph.

How we built it

Processing and HTML5 front-end, Python server and data aggregation, PHP and Flask for dynamic web development.

Challenges we ran into

Conversion of the Processing .pde file into a javascript file to be directly embedded into the website display.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The polished, working nature, combination of many languages and teammate specialty skills.

I worked to help with ideas for the project, worked on front end web development, and created aesthetics for the website.

I worked on the front end web dev portion of our program, displaying the data on a locally hosted server.

I developed the backend of the application. This involved pulling the tweets with the twitter API as well as analyzing their sentiment. I also integrated the backend and frontend components.
