Our application uses the Twitter Search API to retrieve the latest tweet, based on a tag, and show it on the Pebble watch. Originally, we planned to only get tweets in the area, but there were issues getting the location service to work.
The application makes use of the Pebble SDK 3 and is compatible on Pebble and Pebble Steel watches (Aplite), and Pebble Time watches (Basalt). On Basalt, we made use of the new color features, and added some style. Every 15 seconds the application sends a request to a Flask (python) server that we created. The server processes the request, and returns relevant information in the form of JSON. Only the most recent tweet is shown on the watch.
For our demo, the application will use a hard coded tag (#HackIllinois) since we had difficulty trying to find a way for the user to select their own within the time limit.
