Twiligent

Abstract

1. Introduction

Every analytics product wants a monthly subscription and access to your data. Twiligent is the alternative: a self-hosted dashboard that pulls your YouTube and Instagram stats directly from their official APIs, displays them in one place, and runs entirely on infrastructure you control.

A self-hosted analytics and publishing dashboard for YouTube and Instagram.Your data. Your infrastructure. No subscriptions.

Dashboard overview tracking YouTube and Instagram accounts side by side

2. Objective

Every analytics tool wants a subscription. And your data. I built Twiligent instead. YouTube stats. Instagram stats. One dashboard. Runs locally on your machine.

This project demonstrates how JavaScript can be applied to a real-world Digital Marketing & SEO problem.
