Inspiration
Inspired by Visionist booth twitter data, which I thought was a cool challenge!
What it does
Takes data from tweets and draws dots based on data. Each tweet is an individual dot. The x position is the time relative to the dataset times, the y position is how many likes the tweet got, and the size of the dot is related to the number of followers.
How I built it
Converted the .json files into .csv using pandas and python. Then used a p5 sketch to make dots on a canvas based on the .csv data.
Challenges I ran into
Learned python and pandas last night. Had a lot of issues parsing the data. That was the most time consuming part!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learning pandas and python! Also doing a lot of work in the command line which I don't have a ton of experience with.
What I learned
I need to practice some of these skills before next hackathon so I can spend less time processing data and more time building something cool :)
What's next for Tweet Visualizer
I would like to have the color of the circles correspond to the tweet language! And maybe have the dots change color or move based on the mouse position? So there's an interactive component.
