displaying live tweets with socketio

Real time tweet streaming app

Quick experiment with socketio and mapbox-gl heatmap to display real time tweet

To run locally:

• npm install
• set up your twitter configs in a ./config/twitterConf.js file
• twitterConfig looks like:

    var credentials = {
        "consumer":{
            "key": "myConsumerKey",
            "secret": "myConsumerSecret"
        },
        "access_token":{
            "key": "myAccessToken",
            "secret": "myAccessSecret"
        }
    };

    module.exports =  credentials;

• node server
• navigate to localhost:3000

To change what topics you are tracking, change client.track('topic'); line in server.js

Currently, the app is deployed at https://live-tweet-heatmap.herokuapp.com/ (but no guarantees that it's still up and running when you stumble across this repo)
