Tronald Dump - a coding project


Our idea:


We wanted to express some concern towards how technologies, especially social media like Twitter, are being used for political compains. Also showing how social media platforms are favoring posts that creates most attention, even though what is being written is fake news.
To visualize this, we imitate Donald J. Trumps twitter profile, but changing his name to Tronald J. Dump, and creating his posts with random quotes from things he's said over the time.


How:


We used the JavaScript library p5.js, to create our program. We also used an API for fetching the quotes for the twitter profile. When you press "Follow", a new post in featched and shown.

You can try out the program for yourself, following this link.
