1600 - 2300: This was a time of great change and strife.
We decided to use PHP instead of Python as neither of us had experience with Django (even though Python is nice to use and quick to learn). Both of us had experience with PHP, so we switched to the Twitter API for PHP, tmhOAuth.
The change meant that we had lost some time, but David was fast to adapt and set up the ground work for the application. Once we had a solid connection with Twitter's wealth of data, we began to think in more detail about the functionality we'd implement, and who would do what.
Functionality was to include:
- Displaying questions from Twitter users (most recent posts)
- Viewing responses to those questions
- Creating a database to store upvotes and downvotes for each question (with the idea that funny or interesting questions get more votes)
- The ability to log in to your Twitter account via the web interface
- The ability to respond to questions from the web interface
- Identify which tweets are in English and filter out the rest
We started working on all of the above features!
