Welcome to the TwArχiv.

The TwArχiv is a Twitter Archive Analyzer that is designed to take in a complete Twitter archive as downloaded from Twitter.com and subsequently analyse it with respect to the number of tweets/replies etc. On the most basic level it displays how a person's tweeting frequency changes over time and how the proportion of tweets/retweets/replies changes over time. The TwArχiv additionally tries to predict the gender of the people that a given user retweets and replies to, potentially uncovering unconscious bias when it comes to online interactions. Furthermore, the TwArχiv uses geolocation to display a Tweet-location and movement profile for the user.

Usage / Installation

TwArχiv is a Python / Django application that has been designed to be deployed on Heroku. It is recommended to work with Python3 for installation. For the file storage and user management it interfaces with Open Humans through OAuth. A deployed version can be seen live in action at twarxiv.org. Read the INSTALL.md for detailed installation instructions 👍.
