Inspiration
The power and impact of social media in today's world inspired us to do an analysis of people's tweets. We were curious to see how the sentiments of an individual fluctuated over time and reflected through his or her tweets.
What it does
TwitterRX lets you input anyone's twitter handle and then shows you the negativity/positivity of their most recent tweets. (-1 being negative, +1 being positive)
How we built it
Python/Flask, Text-Processing Sentiment Analysis API, D3.js, HTML/CSS

Getting over the hurdle of OAuth with the Twitter API Learning D3.js
Accomplishments that we're proud of
