Oh, hey - I remember Twistori from when it first came out :) Great app, really like it.
Twhoops works the same way - it's just that using Rails made a couple of things easier for me. It's not really an app at all - but if I did ever want to add serious functionality to it, all the fiddly bits are in place thanks to Rails.
- ahoyhere 18y agoGlad you like Twistori. But how can it act the same way? There's no web framework in our pipeline at all. It is literally a static HTML file on the server.
- elliottkember 18y agoOh, I meant in general, it works in the same way. A cron job handles the pulling, and putting the tweets into the SQLite file - but with Rails, instead of just Ruby. I was trying to say that Rails just sits on the cron job and made it easier to parse the API. Hope that makes a bit more sense.
