Hunting Down Twitter Sh’tposters with Node.js/Puppeteer

Hey HN! My name is Jared Wright, yesterday I did a live stream where I built a web scraper to find the funniest Twitter accounts (sh!tposters) based on a topic. Seeing as the recommendation feed is eh. It took sub 2 hours to finish the script. Seeing how Twitter is closing their API a bit I also wanted to do some web scraping to show alternatives to getting data. Here’s the live stream for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/live/-Hfx9tCeShA?feature=share I started streaming 2 weeks ago to educate people on some topics around how to build things on your own (finetuning LLMs, web scraping, chrome extensions, etc) rather than being dependent on APIs all the time. Also just like having fun hacking at night and need someone to talk too…Anyway! Have fun and ask any question below I’m here all day.
