Pics out for Chuck Norris

Inspiration

We felt that people had misconceptions about who Chuck Norris really is. We wanted to correct the misunderstandings and show you exactly who Chuck Norris is.

What it does

Send 347-329-2364 a picture of anything. We'll send you back a Chuck Norris fact related to that picture.

How we built it

We used two and a half APIs: Twilio, Clarafai, and the Chuck Norris API, which we kind of used by stealing its database and storing it in a .txt file.

Challenges we ran into

Installing Clarafai API, figuring out Twilio's methods, and installing Mac OS.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud of the service we are bringing. I hope that everyone will correct their misconception about Chuck Norris.

What we learned

Developing this web app on Windows is not recommended.

What's next for Pics out for Chuck Norris

Our web server will continue to run for as long as it takes for people to understand who Chuck Norris really is. Start learning today.

I consolidated everyone's code into one project. I also wrote code to implement the APIs. Did not make any driver functions.

Jeph Liu
I worked on putting ideas together in order to make this work. This was the first time working with API, so I really wanted to experience the use of it. Now with this project, we can go further with APIs, for future projects.

I came up with the idea and wrote the algorithm to find the best Chuck Norris fact related to the tags spit out by Clarafai. I was also the dedicated JSON parser. Sad user of Windows
