Show HN: A Twitter bot that sends you random abuse
- rando444 8y agoWith the amount of tweets you're sending per day, you're going to inevitably end up saying the same things over and over to the same people every day. I don't expect this to be very popular. I mean this has only been running for a couple of days and you're already re-cycling the same tweets. Also this is like 2-3 lines of code and a text file. It's not really "Show HN" worthy and should be removed IMHO.
- chris140957 8y agoThanks for the feedback. I was actually with you on the last paragraph about this not being HN worthy, until I noticed that the service that this is based on (foaas) was posted here and was pretty popular. But maybe you're right
- rando444 8y agoIt's certainly possible that you did something interesting or clever to build this, but nobody here has any way of knowing anything about what you did. All you did was link to a twitter page. If you want to show off some clever coding, you should write up a blog post about what you did and submit that, otherwise all you've got is something that can post tweets, which can be replicated by almost any programmer in about 10-15 minutes. Anyway, not trying to come down on you, just help you better match what you're submitting with what the community is looking for.

- chris140957 8y agoBit harsh? This is about 20 lines of code. I'm pretty sure I can find time for more useful things alongside this
- dangerface 8y agoThis is great.
