This is our HackGT 2016 project.

You can read a little more about the motivation for the project and the implementation on our Devpost.

The original-hackgt branch contains entirely unedited code from the 9am close of the hackathon.

The new branch will soon contain a few minor changes like printing out tweets so that you can see a little more what the code does behind the scenes.

The problem that we found out during the hackathon is that Twitter does not really like to give us tweet location data. The intentially strip some of the locations from tweets when you use the search portion of their REST API requests. The result is only about one tweet every thousand would give us location data and due to the limitations of the free API key, this turned out to be entirely impossible to use. The project here contains a front end that includes only sample location data from Google Heatmap API's tutorial due to the tweet location issue.
