Inspiration

Remember the certain airlines company who's stock plummeted after a certain PR disaster? It would've been really nice to sell before that happened...

What it does

Imagine being one of the first people to realize that the public is turning against a company you have a vested interest in, or imagine being one of the first people to see a positive wave of support for a company you are interested in investing in. Simply enter your phone number and company info, and receive text notifications if the companies Twitter sentiment 'velocity' passes a positive or negative threshold. You will be sent a text notifying you of the rapid rise in velocity as well as a link to view a simple webpage with stock information and a news feed of the company!

How I built it

Used tweepy python library for twitter streaming, twillio for text messaging, flask for serving web content, and mongo for storing phone numbers.

Challenges I ran into

Getting all of those things to work together!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This was my first solo hackathon!

What I learned

Don't be afraid to ask for help.
