This page is built using Laravel, a MVC php-framework as the back-end, Bootstrap 4 and jQuery
front-end.
Twitter data is loaded on demand trough ajax-calls to Twitter's REST-full API.
All returned #hashtags and @users are cached in a local DB to provide search suggestions.
Twitter trends are loaded based on geo-locating your ip-address (not stored or kept in any
form).
Currently supported/shown data from tweets:
- Original tweet if reply.
- Youtube converted to iframe embed.
- Vine converted to iframe embed.
- Links to external webpages supporting meta-og or meta-twitter tags.
This page creates three browser cookies: PHP session token (not used), Larvel session token,
XSRF token, and Google Analytics token.
These tokens are used to identify your browser-session (as some Twitter-data is temporarily
cached on the server). Google Analytics is used to track page usage.
Like mentioned above your ip-adress is used to lookup a general location for the google
trends (only if you click the "Show Trends" button), this is only done on-demand and no
location/ip information is stored.
