What is Candidate Tweet Analysis?

Tracks all of Twitter's tweets and shows metrics for each candidate:

  • Number of tweets
  • Sentiments analysis (positive / negative)
  • Popular hash tags

Why I built it:

The primary reason for building was to learn / improve my abilities with the following technologies

  • Node.js -- This is my first deployed project using node.js
  • React.js -- This is my second deployed project using React.js
  • Web Sockets -- This is my first deployed project using web sockets
  • Jade -- Used to protoype this idea (before reactifying), my first use of Jade
  • Gulp -- First use of a gulpfile
  • Flexbox -- First intentional use of flexbox throughout a project

###Technologies Used:

Node.js | React.js | Web Sockets | Jade | Gulp | ChartJS | Sentiment | JSX | Flexbox
