Stream Twitter clone

This is a simple Twitter clone app built with Stream's API. It shows you how you can use GetStream.io to build a site similar to Twitter.

Note there is also a lower level Python - Stream integration library which is suitable for all Python applications.

You can sign up for a Stream account at https://getstream.io/get_started.

If you're looking to self-host your feed solution we suggest the open source Stream-Framework, created by the Stream founders.
