Show HN: TweetBoard.me

124 points| jv22222 | 14 years ago | reply

I've been wanting a "pro-feel" Twitter stats dashboard for a while now.

Inspired by Geckoboard I built TweetBoard.me

If you're a Twitter power user you might like it :)

Looks best in full screen!

Note: There were problems when first launched but now it should be working at the real address:

http://TweetBoard.me

(Not working on mobile)

Very very nice work. I am no twitter power user, but I really like the interface.

I have been thinking of making a similar dashboard for work (much like GeckoBoard) but I wanted to roll my own as a way to learn JQuery and CSS ...

I see from your comments that it's a JQuery impl. Great work!

Thanks for the inspiration. I need to put my head down and get cranking :)

Clickable: http://TweetBoard.me

    Oops - it looks like Twitter might be down,
    or this machines Twitter API limit has been
    reached.

Ok this should be fixed now.

Hmm weird. I took the error out. Try reloading the page.

It seems that you're starting to build a really powerful tool. Let me recommend changing the position of some elements. For example: - I would put Followers, Following, Listed & #Tweets in the sidebar, that's because those numbers don't change so often. - I would also remove the time of day in the page. I think is an overkill.

Hope that helps :) Germán

As a data nerd, I am very excited by this. My one piece of feedback would be that the contrast isn't very high, which makes text a bit tiring to read, but, other than that, fantastic work, Justin!

What's your stack like?

[+] mise|14 years ago|reply
Apart from the logo, did you design the site yourself? Start off with CSS from somewhere else? Nicely done, Justin. Header you talk about it with impatience on Techzing :)
[+] jv22222|14 years ago|reply
Yes I did all the CSS & graphics from the ground up :)

This looks AWESOME. The look and feel is outstanding.

I also checked out Pluggio, great work. Using it as my twitter client now

[+] akaak|14 years ago|reply
Yes. Looks good. headed over to @pluggio and started using it.

look into going beyond basic black!

Justin mentioned the logo is by Scott Jackon (http://www.iamscotty.com/blog/) when he talked about this on techzing - I really like it.

The design is a bit too much like GeckoBoard I think and it's currently not pulling in any tweets, but I assume this will be fixed soon.

Clickable WORKING version! http://tweetboard.me/#!/ladygaga
[+] jv22222|14 years ago|reply
If the main tweetboard.me version is not working for you please post your twitter username here so I can try to find out what the broken users have in common.

As i'm typing a tweet into the box (under the "I am @name" tab), it seems to refresh that box and lose my tweet regularly, replacing it again with "Checkout my TweetBoard http://TweetBoard.me/name/tweets while i'm typing.

Nice work Justin! I heard you mention this project on your last podcast and was looking forward to seeing it. I know there are a bunch of tools out there to better manage twitter, but this is the easiest at-a-glance view without any setup that I've found.

Interesting, i'm working on a contextual twitter analytics app which is more about visualising the context behind tweets and grouping it. How different is this to Geckoboard?
[+] LeandroLovisolo|14 years ago|reply
Love the concept, but the Friend Wall and Follower Growth panels have no data for me. Same with the To/From @Username panels.

I can send you a screenshot if you want.

Very impressed with the look and feel. I definitely see putting this up on a screen for any company that's seriously tracking their twitter following - great work.

It'd be great to have a product tour before providing my credentials...I don't like signing up for things based on only text. Otherwise, the copy looks great!
[+] skadamat|14 years ago|reply
I'm digging the site / idea, great work :)

Turn this into a chrome extension, or a Mac / Windows Live Wallpaper, and it would really fly!

[+] homemadejam|14 years ago|reply
It's looking pretty great! Although it does seem to load a little slow for me... But I think I'm gonna bookmark this site for future use.
[+] paulitex|14 years ago|reply
Nice approach, i like the look. My follower graph & data is wrong though.

Is this a side project or are you fulltime?

[+] jv22222|14 years ago|reply
Side project. Been working on it for 2 weeks.
[+] thanasisp|14 years ago|reply
I like it, what will you do to remind me to get back after a few days when you have stats about my account? (@thanpolas)
[+] jv22222|14 years ago|reply
There is nothing to remind users as of yet... but that's a good thought!
