Hi Sam. I don't know you. And, I saw this tweet RT'ed by a decent person. But, I am a little cautious about trying the software and allowing access to my Twitter. Maybe you could assuage my fears? I guess my question amounts to, "Are you a good person?" I don't mean to be rude.

Hi - totally understand why you would be concerned. The site uses your twitter login to access the tweets you see on your feed, but it doesn’t store any info about you - it just grabs your feed from twitter and then presents it back to you.

no - the tweets get tagged/ranked on the server (python) and the front end is mostly just interface. extremely messy/disgusting code to be found on github!
