Sphere of Influence is a barebones distributed platform for mapping curated content on Twitter.
The front-end is as light as possible and the back-end is a stateless RESTful API. Content is sourced from contributers by using Twitter as the CMS.
Sphere of Influence can be set up cost free by exploiting services like GitHub Pages & in the past; Heroku*. Let the big guys take the burden, they've enough dollar dollar to do it.
*Heroku removing its free tier plan forced us to make amends and rethink how the project is deployed.
Sphere of Influence is also the name of the site for which it was developed. Sphere of Influence (the site) is dedicated to tracking Soviet culture on Twitter.
We're currently in early development so things will often break and some news may be irrelevant or confusing.
Documentation for the platform is yet to be written.
