Musharna

A simple web app that finds what Twitter users around the world have recently been dreaming about, and displays it in a stream-like fashion.

How it works

A Flask route calls the Twitter API to search for Tweets with dream-related keywords and adds them to a Mongo Atlas database. Retweets, media tweets, links, and replies are excluded. This route is run once per day using the Heroku Scheduler.

The app displays all dream-related Tweets from the day before. Each dream's text is animated using the the typed.js library, mimicking users typing up what they dreamed about.

Initial Observations

  • K-Pop stans
  • "I dreamed about you"
  • A lot of unique and interesting dreams, which is what I wanted to see!

To Do List

  • Once enough data is collected, a way to analyze the content of these dream-related Tweets (and maybe generate fake dream Tweets)
  • Basic Tweet search functionality
