This is the Real time Twitter application I've made for the Real time web course during the minor Web Development. The application uses socket.io and is a server-side node application.

The live version can be found at https://real-time-web-cmd.herokuapp.com/

First you have to clone the repository. Open your terminal and go to the folder you want to clone the repo in. Then type $ git clone https://github.com/camille500/real-time-web.git to clone the repo to the folder.

In the same folder, type $ npm install to install all dependencies. The application can now be started with the $ npm start command.

I've build a application that shows the last Tweets with 'Amsterdam' in it. User can create an account that will be stored in a MongoDB collection. After logging in, the user can go to the 'Twitter Dashboard'. On the dashboard is a stream that shows all new Tweets since the page was opened. There is also a counter that counts the amount of new Tweets.

• Registering a account and logging in
• Protected pages, only for user that logged in
• Express-session for storing session data
• Websocket for the Twitter functionality
• Live API data from the Public Twitter stream
• Average amount of tweets per minute

• oAuth to login, so that the user can get more data from it's own profile
• The possibility to choose an own keyword to stream on
• D3 Data visualisations
• Showing more data that comes with the tweets
• Showing a push notification if a desired tweet comes up
• More interesting data for the dashboard
• Better overall design and UX
