Hack Day Hack with lotsa hackiness

An initial attempt at a bot to curate content during election season. Only handles basic queries and supports a handful of user cases. Hopefully to be expanded upon soon with smarter algorithms and a better try at NPL

For funsies, try:

  • "who's the prettiest?"
  • "is Obama winning?"
  • "who is winning in my ..."
  • "who is [firstName] [lastName]?" (of congressional candidate)

// Cecilia Reyes // Kristen Lee // Lauren Johnston

To host locally, on a Mac, run from your terminal:

$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer [port number]

Then navigate to localhost:[port number] in your browser
