I want to get involved, but from the Readme and the project files themselves, I'm not exactly sure what this project needs from the community for improvement.

This project is meant to show information about trans murders based on pulling information from Twitter. The project was born and constructed in about 2 hours. We never got back to it.

It's a Flask App and one of the people I was working with at the conference used webhose.io to get Twitter info. If you look at /venv/templates/index.html you'll see what we were trying to get to in terms of displaying data to the public. That is, showing those lives we have lots to anti-trans violence to raise awareness and visibility of the issue.

I hope that helps. Happy to answer other questions.
