Twebdev - Tweet Aggregator based on Hash Tags - Responsive Web App written in Ruby and powered by Sinatra and Slim
Provide an array of hash tags in app.rb to search Twitter for, and this web app will grab the 15 most recent (or most popular by visiting the /popular route) tweets and cache them for 5 minutes. You can click on links, usernames, and hash tags in each tweet, and the author and tweet time are displayed (US - Central Time, which can be changed in app.rb). Clicking the author's name will take you directly to the tweet on Twitter.com so you can reply, retweet or favorite.
