This is a project created for the University of Maryland's Bitcamp Hackathon.
Woke is a slang term that has recently become popular. Although the term can be used jokingly it has a significant definition. Someone who is 'woke' is aware of what is going on in their community and is familiar with current events and affairs. Woke calculator adds more significance to the term while still maintaining it's slang and relaxed tone.
Woke calculator currently analyzes the composition of your tweets to determine a woke score. Users' use of offensive language can affect their score. Additionally, if tweets mention trending topics then users' woke scores can increase. To accomplish this we utilized IBM's Watson api to analyze personality traits of users through their tweets. All of these factors combine to create a woke score.
By having your woke score determined you can become more conscious of your social media presence and how you portray yourself online. By having the possibility to scan multiple users accounts, users can compare themselves to friends challenging each other to be more socially conscious online and better the current internet environment.
We used javascript specifically node.js, the twitter api, and IBM Watson's api.
We learned a lot more about web development, specifically back end web development.
Woke calculator plans to add support for additional social media accounts in the future. We are also looking forward to improving our algorithm to more accurately measure user's woke score.
