Inspiration
We decided that people could sometimes use a buffer when using social media. People share so much information nowadays, it is easy to let risky things slip. We also wanted an opportunity to practice using IBM's Watson API.
What it does
Our plan was to build an app that stops users from posting before posting personal or geographical information on Twitter, and possibly Facebook.
How we built it
We used Amazon Webservices to host a nodeJS server, which we tried to use to connect to IBM Watson. Javascript was used for the front end.
Challenges we ran into
IBM Watson Text analysis APIs proved very tricky to use and gave us some very strange errors. We could not get access to the json it was showing us, and no amount of help could fix it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning a lot about NodeJs and deploying a server for it.
What we learned
We learned a lot about using APIs and about using a server.
What's next for Twitter Tone
I would like to continue working on the server so that I can get it to work with IBM's APIs.
