I've been getting lots of interesting feedback, so I thought I would share some of that here:
- I'm a data scientist, and most of my friends are data scientists too.
Which means that the recommendations we saw from the app were all fairly similar...
But what's been interesting is that we're getting users for the app who have completely different interests, and what we're seeing is that the app is making recommendations from reputable accounts that we've never seen or heard off. That's really cool...
One of my users pointed out that there isn't a simple way of finding
spaceson the twitter.com site when using a desktop browser.... unless you are using the app! :) then they are neatly tucked away inside the bookmarks paneI built the app in a 48-hr (crazy) sprint, and there were lots of things I wish I had time to do. After the judges finish their review, and the code-freeze has been lifted, I would do the following:
I've always been a fan of the McDonalds sign - over N billion served! We are obviously no-where near that number, but it is cool to see how many recommendations the app has made. I see everything inside redis; it would be trivial to surface that metric to a landing page.
The app is currently only showing spaces from verified accounts. I would change that criteria to either verified or having more than (say) 50k followers to increase the number of recommendations being made... There aren't enough verified accounts making spaces. I also have to be careful about recommending spaces, as the app is not filtering any content.
