Twitter Realtime Visualization

This app will stream live data from the Twitter Streaming API to visualize it with the power of Vue and Highcharts.

Quickstart

$ git clone https://github.com/fabiandev/vue-twitter-stream-app.git
$ cd vue-twitter-stream-app
$ cp server/.env.example server/.env
$ yarn

Now fill in your credentials in server/.env and run yarn start.

Live Example

Since the app is hosted on a free Heroku instance, it may need some time to boot up.
Please also note, that due to restrictions of the Twitter streaming API, only one concurrent stream is allowed.

Fun fact: The app is named "iv", because the course at University, where this project was born, was called "Information Visualisation".
