About
Open Measures (fka SMAT) is a project which archives social media data, and makes that data explorable via APIs or data visualisations.
It was designed to support journalists and academics do things like research the spread of misinformation, identify war criminals, and explore patterns in discourse.
Relationship
I’ve worked with Open Measures a couple of times over the years. I helped design their GraphQL API, and was responsible for implementing a graph visualisation tool to explore politician’s social media interactions leading up to the 2020 USA elections (read more here)
I also mentored + trained junior developers working on the project, and later worked on a more complete version of the graph tool.
Tech I used: Vue.js, Pinia, GraphQL, D3
