CVitter – generate an alternative profile page for your Twitter account

Initially, I created the project for Chirp Dev Challenge hackathon this Summer. The idea behind it was very simple: enhance Twitter profile page. The problems solved with these enhancements are: 1. The existing page does not show all the available data that can help users to understand if they want to follow someone or not. Some users try to describe what they tweet about in description or in a pinned tweet. But not everyone does this though. 2. Sometimes, it happens that you follow a user, but it turns out they mostly tweet in a language you don't know. A few latest tweets shown on the…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Initially, I created the project for Chirp Dev Challenge hackathon this Summer. The idea behind it was very simple: enhance Twitter profile page. The problems solved with these enhancements are: 1.

Sometimes, it happens that you follow a user, but it turns out they mostly tweet in a language you don't know. A few latest tweets shown on the profile page do not necessarily match the most used language. 3. Sometimes you follow a user because you liked a tweet or two, but later it turns out they write about the topics you are generally not interested in. 4. It would also be nice if the profile page contained some fun and catchy stuff, just for the sake of it:). In the ideal case, I’d prefer for it to work for any user without the need to login beforehand, but then the app limits would be quickly hit unfortunately. In case you are not sure you’d like to login yourself, please take a look at some generated profile pages: https://cvitter.com/lwoleksii, https://cvitter.com/nasa, https://cvitter.com/azure

    I've been wanting a "pro-feel" Twitter stats dashboard for a while now. Inspired by Geckoboard I built TweetBoard.me If you're a Twitter power user you might like it :) Looks best in full screen! Note: There were problems when first launched but now it should be working at the real address: http://TweetBoard.me (Not working on mobile)

    Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

    APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
