Inspiration

The lack of a single webpage to view politicians stances

What it does

Search Twitter feed of someone by keyword on a single webpage

How we built it

Using node.js, html, css, javascript, and python to access a specific library to scrape twitter

Challenges we ran into

Configuring and working with node.js (first time using), finding a way to search Twitter without using the Twitter api (they didn't respond to us)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Coming out and working hours on end to learn new technology and finish a project

What we learned

Node.js and serving pages through it

What's next for StanceCheck

Using Twitter api to have a search bar for twitter handles rather then a predefined list.
