#Picture Dictionary
During the Techcrunch Hackathon, I worked on a picture dictionary. This was to help me practice connecting with APIs and displaying them in a useful fashion.
This django app takes photos from common social API’s, mashed together with Pearson’s dictionary API and NY Times API.
I chose to use Pearson’s api for dictionary definitions of official English language words. Tumblr was selected for displaying photos because it’s known as a hipster platform and because people tag photos with everyday language including slang. I chose to display NY Times articles so that people can read more about the term.
In essence, it’s an educational tool to learn and understand english slang terms.
