I am really annoyed by websites that require you to have social media accounts to function


The main point of the project was utilizing the Twitter Search API in an unconventional way, by parsing tweets sent to a specific account and looking for keywords and colors. All the code is up on GitHub.

Yeah, the bubble is unprecedented. Like was it really hard to just put a textbox on this very website?


come on man, the point from their perspective is to generate traffic ofc


at least one static example would be nice?


I haven't received anywhere near the amount of traffic I'm getting right now and I thought Twitter's Search API rate limits were more relaxed than they apparently are.

This is from before I recently updated the site, I'm working on getting updated examples on CodePen.
