Title: [ANN] A website that scans twitter feeds for the top 400 coins on coinmarketcap

As suggested in another board, this is a crosspost to show you the website I have been working on.

As the title says, it's a website that takes the top 400 assets on coinmarketcap, and does a request to twitter to measure the volume of tweets every 15 minutes. It is located at https://cointwitterscanner.azurewebsites.net, if you want to take a look. All feedback is welcome :)

What terms are searched in the tweets to determine that he is talking about a specific currency? It would be great if we could see those tweets or at least give us a link to a search on tweet with those key keywords.

For example: Status - keywords: $SNT; Clicking this keyword will redirect you to a twitter search with $SNT.

Quite a cool idea. Could the parameters be changed to crawl for something else or is the code complex that would require a complete new build? It could be quite useful if you could make small changes to the framework to utilise it for other things too.
How come the top coins (BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC etc) aren't showing. I'd have assumed that those coins should be through the roof with results.

I remember that there were some free Twitter services that were tracking limited amount of keywords in tweets for free,but you could upgrade your account and track unlimited keywords in tweets.
I don`t know how your service can be helpfull for cryptocurrency trading ,but i might use it.

This is not free and I don't think people will donate you when they can search coins on twitter  :-\
