Show HN: CVitter – generate an alternative profile page for your Twitter account

https://cvitter.com

Initially, I created the project for Chirp Dev Challenge hackathon this Summer. The idea behind it was very simple: enhance Twitter profile page. The problems solved with these enhancements are:

1. The existing page does not show all the available data that can help users to understand if they want to follow someone or not. Some users try to describe what they tweet about in description or in a pinned tweet. But not everyone does this though.

2. Sometimes, it happens that you follow a user, but it turns out they mostly tweet in a language you don't know. A few latest tweets shown on the profile page do not necessarily match the most used language.

3. Sometimes you follow a user because you liked a tweet or two, but later it turns out they write about the topics you are generally not interested in.

4. It would also be nice if the profile page contained some fun and catchy stuff, just for the sake of it:).

In the ideal case, I’d prefer for it to work for any user without the need to login beforehand, but then the app limits would be quickly hit unfortunately.

In case you are not sure you’d like to login yourself, please take a look at some generated profile pages: https://cvitter.com/lwoleksii, https://cvitter.com/nasa, https://cvitter.com/azure

Hi! Very good remark, thank you! Hope I will be able to add this feature this weekend. For now, please DM me in Twitter https://twitter.com/cvittr, and I will delete the data manually.

Added a possibility to delete profile (link in the footer). Also added Ukrainian language. If anyone would like to help with localizing to other languages, message me:).

Oh, forgot about a funny thing found when created the project. For many of the top accounts, their favorite users (i.e. the most liked) are actually themselves:). Examples are https://cvitter.com/elonmusk, https://cvitter.com/justinbieber etc.
